Lyrics

THEY HAVE LET US DOWN

They say if we vote
It'll make a change one day
Go to church, read the Bible
It'll make our lives O.K.
Higher education
Will pave the way for better pay
We've done all these things
But still we have no say

PEOPLE - Let's change our thinking
Tell me, what will it take
To learn from our mistakes?
PEOPLE - The foundation is sinking
Let's change the agenda
Get rid of all this hate

Politicians - They have let us down
Preachers - They have let us down
Teachers - They have all let us down
Senators - They have let us down
Cardinals - They have let us down
Leaders - They have all let us down

We are the ones who feed the donkey
We are the ones forgotten by the elephant
We are the ones picked by the eagle
We've been distracted, and we cannot see
We are the ones who live in misery

PEOPLE - It's time for action
Tell me, what will it take
To learn from our mistakes?
PEOPLE - Get rid of the factions
Take control of your fate
Before it's too late

Brothers - Educate yourselves
Sisters - Save yourselves
Children - Don't let US keep you down
Brothers - Love yourselves
Sisters - Respect yourselves
People - Don't let them keep you down
Fathers - Rededicate yourselves
Mothers - Believe in yourselves
Children - Keep the family structure around

Politicians - They have let us down
Preachers - They have let us down
Teachers - They have all let us down
Senators - They have let us down
Cardinals - They have let us down
Leaders - They have all let us down
