(when he sings he plays the lick at the beginning and then just strums)
---VERSE---
Cm Bb CmFig 1
When the people lead The leaders they will have to follow
Cm Bb CmFig 1
And all their lies and their alibies They will have to swallow
Cm Bb CmFig 1
And it's you that has the authority
Cm Bb CmFig 1
For the one who is right is the majority
---CHORUS---
Bb F
When the people lead
Cm
People take the lead
Bb F
Children you've got to take your lead
Cm
Or you shall be led astray
---VERSE---
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
---CHORUS----
---DRUM SOLO---
----VERSE---
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
---CHORUS---
