Who is the leader of the people?
Who is the leader?
Follow the leader!
I swear I heard the man say something else
Who is the leader of the people?
Who is the leader?
Follow the leader!

Politicians taking my money
I’m getting kinda hungry and I sit here wondering
I need something to believe in
I hear another promise everyday

Who is the leader of the people?
Who is the leader of the people?
Who is the leader of the people?
Who is the leader of the people?
Who is the leader of the people?
Who is the leader of the people?

Who is the leader?
Who is the leader?
Who is the leader?

Sick and tired of being down
Situation’s turning me all around

Who is the leader of the people?
Who is the leader of the people?
Who is the leader of the people?
Who is the leader of the people?
Who is the leader of the people?
