Song: people lead
Year: 1995
When the people lead
The leaders they will have to follow
And all their lies and their alibis
They will have to swallow
And it's you, you, you that has the authority
For the one who is right
Is the majority
Yes when the people lead
People take the lead
Children you've gotta 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
But you can lead a horse to the water
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 gotta 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
And when it seems
As if it has left your left your person
All the while only has only worsened
When the people lead
People take the, take your lead
People take the lead
People take the lead
People take the, take the lead
People take the lead
Children you've gotta take your lead
Or you shall be, or you shall be
Don't let them lead you astray
They'll try to lead you
People take the lead
While you're cracking
Let them take your lead
Take your lead
