Lyrics of Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson
intro
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bass, bass, bass, bass

verse
With music by our side to break the color lines
Let's work together to improve our way of life
Join voices in protest to social injustice
A generation full of courage, come forth with me
chorus
People of the world today, are we looking for a better way of life? (Sing!)
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers, we can get it right, one time (sing it up!)
We are a part of the rhythm nation

This is the test, no struggle, no progress (lend)
Lend a hand to help your brother do his best
Things are getting worse, we have to make them better
It's time to give a damn, let's work together (come on now)
