We are the people
We're not corporations
We are the people
We're not labels for your stock
We are the people
We're not crayons in a box
We are the people
We're not donkeys and elephants

Taking over from machines
Who you think you can trust
For the ballots that we play
Are like the bullets in a gun
Wake up and open your hearts
Now don't be desceived
Oh when you see yourself for who you are
You'll be truly free

We are the people
Listen to our song
We are the people
Together we are strong
We are the people
Stronger than one race
We are the people
Stronger than one faith
To devide us
To define us
Categorize us
To neutralize us
Like robots living in a dream
Doing what they think they must
Scenes in black and white
Painted with a brush
So you think they care
It's a paper town
With paper politicians
Hey you think you're safe
In your hiding space
Way up on the cloud
Spread it all around the world
Our voices must be heard
With dignity and might
Oh what beautiful sight

We are the people
We're not corporations
We are the people
We're not labels for your stock
We are the people
We're not crayons in a box
We are the people
We're not donkeys and elephants

Taking over from machines
Who you think you can trust
For the ballots that we play
Are like the bullets in a gun
Wake up and open your hearts
Now don't be desceived
Now when you see yourself for who you are
You'll be truly free

We are the people
Listen to our song
We are the people
Together we are strong
We are the people
Stronger than one race
We are the people
Stronger than one faith
We are the people
We're not corporations
We are the people
We're not labels for your stock
We are the people
We're not crayons in a box
We are the people
We're not donkeys and elephants
