Template:Who Are These People?

From ElvisCostello

Who are these people that keep telling us lies

And how did these people get control of our lives

And who'll stop the violence 'cause it's out of control?

Make 'em stop

Who are these people that destroy everything

And sell off the future for whatever it brings

And what kind of leaders can't admit when they're wrong?

Make 'em stop

This stupid mess we're in just keeps getting worse

So many people dying needlessly

Looks like these liars may inherit the earth

Even pretending to pray

And getting away with it

Who are these people that keep telling us lies

And how did these people get control of our lives

And who'll stop the violence 'cause it's out of control?

We've got to make them stop

Who are these people that keep telling us lies

And how did these people get control of our lives

And who'll stop the violence 'cause it's out of control?

Make 'em stop

See things really have to change

Before it's too late*

*(Alternate lyric in the "explicit version":)

Or we're all fucked
