When the people lead
the leaders they will have to follow
and all their lies and their alibies

they will have to swallow
and it's you that has the authority
for the one who is right

is the majority

when the people lead

people take the lead
children you've got to take your lead
or you shall be led astray


so as long as someone else
controls your history

the truth shall remain just a mystery
for you can lead a horse to the water
but you cannot make him drink

you can put a man through school
but you cannot make him think


when the people lead
people take the lead
children you've got to take your lead

or you shall be led astray

watch them try to hide

this world's imposition
but like disease that has come round from remission
when it seems

as if it has left your person
all the while it has only worsened


when the people lead
people take the lead
children you've got to take your lead

or you shall be led astray
