Believe In the Poet

Writer out of water He's singing a noble song But it doesn't matter His body is rotting long Way before the sprockets are changing In this machine that controls the commonwealth Push 'em all back Put 'em up against the wall Cry out loud for the individual One percent representing your best liberties Tease your ego, nothing more Even though nothing will change Even though nothing will One in a million thoughts could change the world Send a message through the wreckage This division will never be So let it be Who knows what fires will breed from hours of woe Believe in the poet Believe in the poet I hope Here's to Washington And they're watching out for all of them Washing their hands clean Of the dirty, the sick and tired, hungry and the poor Always keep them counting, wanting Four more years of smoke and mirrors Try for all you can Sing out loud for the common average man Start inside a riot Open up and get violent Money always equals power They censor you, get louder Falling on deaf and jaded hands Even though nothing will change Even though nothing will One in a million thoughts could change the world Send a message through the wreckage This division will never be So let it be Who knows what fires will breed from hours of woe Believe in the poet Believe in the poet I hope Taken from a lonely mother's son I know I'm not the one I'm not the only one And I'm singing Don't let them change you Don't let them jade you Don't let them change you Don't let them jade you One in a million thoughts could change the world Send a message through the wreckage This division will never be So let it be Who knows what fires will breed from hours of woe Believe in the poet Believe in the poet I hope
