Ben Harper Lyrics

"People Lead" lyrics


Words and music by Ben Harper

When the people lead, the leaders they'll have to follow.
And all their lies and their alibies, 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.
You can lead a horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink.
You can put a man to school, but you cannot make him think.

When the people lead,
People take the lead.
Children you've got, 've got to take your lead,
Or you shall be led astray.

Watch them try to hide this world's imposition.
But like didease that come round from remission.
And when it seems as if it has left, left your person.
All the while it has only worsened.

When the people lead,
People take the, take the 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,
