Puppets in the dance are we
Or do we call the tune
We're keeping up our ratings
While we feed you wreck and ruin
Thespians of revolution, money in the bank
With our college boy lispsBrown ale gurus Sunday supplement priests
Lunch with urban guerrillas
On expense account receipts
Opinionated interviews
From an informed source
can't tell you no names
secret of courseWe are the people
I am you, you are me
We are the people, I am you, you are me
Any fool can see all the people
We are the peopleWe're on the side of politicians
Misquote their lies
Building up those favors
We collect on bye and bye
On the side of winners
We can change with the fees
Give us your proposition
We're only here to pleaseWe are the people
I am you, you are me
We are the people
I am you, you are me
Any fool can see all the people
We are the peopleOh, please defend me
Don't ask for my surrender
We are the kings, you're the pretenders
You walk and I'll talk
Stop ringing my doorbell with questionsSubscribe, view us, listen to us
We've got the plan
We've got all the answers
And we've got your man
We can change the format
If the sales go down
And we got girls for everyone
Yellow, pink or brownWe are the peopleWe are the people
I am you, you are me
We are the people
I am you, you are me
Any fool can see all the people
We are the people
