C G Em D
she’s holding a torch in her hand
C G Em D
pointing towards heaven
C G
and on the streets below her
Em D
people living out of trashcans
C G D
are trying to believe she’s got a plan

C G Em D
we dug a hole under the sea
C G Em D
but nobody knows how to stop the bleed
C G Em D
there’s 999 channels on my tv
C G D
and i still have no idea what to believe

G
there is a choice
C D
follow the leader
G
or use your voice
C D
cause this will just keep up
Em G
until we make a loud noise
C D
and the hidden ones speak up

C G Em D
over the water to the east
C G Em D
two million in a square refuse to sleep
C G
till every pleading voice is heard
Em D
and all the world has seen
C G D
revolution bring a king down to his knees

G
cause they made a choice
C D
not to follow the leader
G
but use one voice
C D
shows ordinary people
Em G
can make a really loud noise
C D
when the hidden ones speak up

Em G
oh , hidden ones
Em G
oh , hidden ones
Am
oh

C G Em D
he started drinking too young
C G Em D
tucked into his jeans now is a gun
C G
and the stories of his ancestors
Em D
they will never be sung
C G D
for he is going where they do not see the sun

C Em C
but look , there’s a circus in town
C Em D
watch as the lion eats the clown
C Em C
tell me who out there is leading on the ground?
C Em D
who will catch the boy before he drowns?
C Em D
if they’re busy putting shows on for the crowd?

G
oh but there is a choice
C D
you can follow the leader
G
or use your voice
C D
cause this will just keep up
Em G
until we make a loud noise
C D G
and the hidden ones speak up
