Wars of Armageddon Lyrics

I gotta go to work
What kind of shit is this? I gotta go to work
Stop that goddamn kid from crying
Goddamnit
Goddamnit

When do we want freedom?
Now
When do we...
Now...
Now
What do we want?
Freedom
When do we want it?
Now
Now
Now
Now
Now

More power to the people
More power to the people
More pussy to the power
More pussy to the people
More power to the pussy
More pussy to the power
Pussy to the people
Power to the pussy
More peter to the eater
More power to the pussy
More pussy to the power
Right on, right on
More power to the pussy
More pussy to the power
More power to the peter
More peter to the pussy

Right on

Goddamn
Look at that pollution
It's a fat funky person

Genius Annotation

The final track from Funkadelic’s oft-talked about classic 1971 album, Maggot Brain. Though lead guitarist Eddie Hazel achieved infamy from his guitar solo on the legendary title track, This song here can be said to be drummer Tiki Fulwood’s ‘'maggot brain’‘ showcasing his strong prowess on the drum kit. Jazz Legend Miles Davis was so impressed by the song, Fulwood would briefly exit Funkadelic to work with Davis for a while.
