/
 She's holding  a torch  in her hand
Pointing  towards  Heaven
 And on  the streets below  her, people living  out of trashcans
 Are trying  to believe  she's got a plan
We  dug a hole  under the sea
 But nobody knows  how to stop the bleed
 There's nine  hundred and ninety  nine channels  on my  TV
 And I still  have no idea  what to believe
 There is a choice
 Follow the lea-der
 Or use your voice
 Cause this will just keep  up
 Until we make a loud  noise
 And the hidden ones speak up
 x1
Over  the water  to the east
 Two million  in a square  refuse to sleep
 Till every  pleading voice  is heard
 And all  the world has seen
 Revolution:  pull a king  down to his knees
 Cause they made a choice
 Not to follow the lea-der
 But use one voice
 Shows ordinary peo-ple
 Can make a really loud  noise
 When the hidden ones speak up
 Interlude/Bridge:
/
/  (Strum)
 Ohhhh hear once voice, hear one voice. He started drinking -
  too young
 Tucked in  to his jeans  now is a gun
 And the stories  of his ancestors
 They will never  be sung
 For he is going  where they do  not see the sun
 Ah but look,  there's a circus  in town
Watch  as the lion  eats the clown
 Tell me who  out there is leading  on the ground?
Who  will catch the boy  before he drowns?
 If they're busy  putting shows  on for the crowd?
 There is a choice
 You can follow the lea-der
 Or use your voice
 Cause this will just keep  up
 Until we make a loud  noise
 And the hidden ones speak up
