This is the voice of the people
Telling you, "you can't hide"
This is the voice of the people
Telling you it's cold outside
Sounds a little callous
And it sounds a little snide
But it's telling you the truth
So it cannot be denied
It spoke for the people
So the people couldn't say it lied.

This is the voice of the people
Saying that you just can't win
This is the voice of the people
So you needn't bother to begin
Show me what you're doing
Better show me where you've been
See there's nothing in it for you
So you'd better come back in
The voice of the people
Is it getting underneath your skin?

Come on - let's hear it for the people!
Come on - share it with the people!
Come on - let's hear it for the people!
Everyone is saying everybody should be equal!

It's saying what you think you heard
It couldn't find a better word
That's why it seems a little blurred
The people mustn't be disturbed
It's saying you should lose your mind
If only for some peace of mind
It's saying you should be resigned
You've never had a better time.

Go on - the battle's won!
So go on - things are getting done!
Now go on - have a little fun!
Go on - it's telling you to spend more money!

Voice of the people
See it written on the walls
Yes it's the voice of the people
We play the tune the piper calls
Selling you another
Or they're showing you their balls
Everybody's got a message
Doesn't matter what it's called
The voice of the people
Isn't saying anything at all.
