People Lead Lyrics by Ben Harper

People Lead Lyrics

    When the people lead
    The leaders they will have to follow
    And all their lies and their alibies
    They will have to swallow
    And it's you that has the authority
    For the one who is right
    Is the majority

    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 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

    When the people lead
    People take the lead
    Children you've 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
    When it seems
    As if it has left your person
    All the while it has only worsened

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