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 lisps



Brown ale gurus Sunday supplement priests

Lunch with urban guerillas

On expense account receipts

Opinionated interviews

From an informed source

can't tell you no names

secret of course



We 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



We'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 please



We 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



Oh, 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 questions



Subscribe--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 brown



We are the people..............chorus to fade
