People Lead Songtext
von Ben Harper

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 got to take your lead
Or you shall be led astray

So as long as someone else
Controls your history
The truth, it shall remain just a mystery
For 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 got to, 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, oh, it 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 got to 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
Oh, while you′ve got the time
Take your lead
Take your lead
