I don't trust the government, I don't trust alternatives
It's not that I'm paranoid, it's just thats the way it is
Every day I hear a little scream inside
Every day I find it's gettin louder
I just want to reach out and touch someone,
'Cause I find I need a friend in this dark hour
We the people are gettin' tired of your lies
We the people now believe that it's time
We're demanding our rights to the answers
We'll elect a president to a state of mind
I trust in conspiracies, in the power of the military
In this wilderness of mirrors here, not even my speech is free
Every day I hear a little scream inside
Everyday I find it's gettin' louder
I just want to reach out and touch someone
'Cause I find I need a friend in this dark hour
We the people want it straight for a change
'Cause we the people are gettin of your games
If you insult us with cheap propaganda,
We'll elect a president to a state of mind
Every day I hear a little scream inside
Every day I find it's gettin louder
I just want to reach out and touch someone,
'Cause I find I need a friend in this dark hour
When we the people have our backs to the wall,
do we the people then assume control?
When it's too late to stop our own execution,
when we're faced with the final solution,
You can't elect a dream revolution
when you've a bullet in the back of your mind
It's just a state of mind
