We The People

If everyone is complaining about the government all of the time

Then why do we even have one at all?

Bro, if we didn't have a government, things would be much worse

It's be like one of those end-of-the-world video games

Let me tell you 'bout the government and what they're supposed to do

Like help us solve our problems and keep us safe, too

We were born with unalienable rights

Like the pursuit of happiness, liberty, and life

We got freedom of speech and it's their job to defend it

From all our enemies foreign or domestic

Elected officials, they work for us

We hold them accountable and they earn our trust

Government's a part of a healthy society

It's what allows us to be a democracy

They built the bridges and the roads

The green lights that say go

Did you know the government should work for you and me?

By the people, for the people

Power to all the people

That's why united we stand

By the people, for the people

We were all created equal

All across this land

There's so many things that the government does

That most people take for granted, never knowing there was

So much work done to keep the public services running

From the schools to the firefighters, down to the plumbing

But a government can only be as strong as its citizens

It's a reflection of its constituents

Get out the vote, so they got to acknowledge us

They promised it was liberty and justice for all of us

Government's a part of a healthy society

It's what allows us to be a democracy

They run the buses and the trains

They regulate the planes

Did you know the government should work for you and me?

By the people, for the people

Power to all the people

That's why united we stand

By the people, for the people

We were all created equal

All across this land

Accountability requires commitment

Let's get involved, it'll make a difference

Let's join together, let's take a stand

We shouldn't have to beg for a helping hand

Accountability requires commitment

Let's get involved, it'll make a difference

Join together, let's take a stand

We shouldn't have to beg for a helping hand

By the people, for the people

Power to all the people

That's why united we stand

By the people, for the people

We were all created equal

All across this land

By the people, for the people

Power to all the people

That's why united we stand

By the people, for the people

We were all created equal

All across this land
