"The Leaders" lyrics

"The Leaders"

Your leader's not your friend
Your leader's not your friend
They'll rob you blind and police your mind
Your leader's not your friend

The leaders hold your hand
The leaders hold your hand
When you cross the road but they won't let go
When you reach the other side

If you take the leader's coin
If you take the leader's coin
You'll have sold your soul and lost control
And that's the fucking point

But people give me hope
Yes people give me hope
We can help, create and instigate
People give me hope

We can help each other out
We can help each other out
As social souls and not because
They said it's "allowed"

Let's stand up for ourselves
Let's stand up for ourselves
If we want this shit to change it's up
To us and no one else

Let's stand up for ourselves
Let's stand up for ourselves
If we want this shit to change it's up
To us and no one else
