She’s holding a torch in her hand / pointing towards heaven / and on the streets
below her people living out of trash cans / 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
999 channels on my TV / and I still have no idea what to believe / But there is a
choice / Follow the leader or use your voice / Cos this’ll just keep up until we
make a loud noise / and the hidden ones speak up / 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 their revolution pull a king down to his knees / Cos they
made a choice / not to follow their leader but use one voice / Shows ordinary
people can make a really loud noise / when the hidden ones speak up / Oh the
hidden ones / Oh the hidden ones / He started drinking too young / Tucked in his
jeans now is a gun / And the stories of his ancestors / they will never be sung /
for he’s 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 is out there leading on the
ground? / Who will catch the boy before he drowns / if they’re busy putting
shows on for the crowd? / Oh there is a choice / You can follow the leader or use
your voice / Cos this’ll just keep up until we make a loud noise / and the hidden
ones speak up…
