I don't trust the government, I don't trust alternatives It's not that I'm paranoid, it's just that's the way it is Every day I hear a little scream inside Every day I find it's getting 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 elect a precedent 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 getting tired of your games If you insult us with cheap propaganda We'll elect a precedent to a state of mind Every day I hear a little scream inside Every day I find it's getting 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
