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
