Lyrics

1-2, 1-2

You can watch TV and watch the media

President Bush doing takeover

Kate Moss in ads for mascara

All my youth the young offender

The bill payers, the drug dealers

Girls who are magazine covers

The part-time jobbers at the call center

No career plans 'cause you won't go far

Put away change for Ibiza and

Check your credit on your new Nokia

You can be a follower, but who's your leader?

Break the cycle or it will kill ya'

You can be a follower, but who's your leader?

Break the cycle or it will kill ya'

You leader, you lead can't, do what you do now

What really good that can happen to you?

You leader, you lead can't, do what you do now

What really good that can happen to you?

You're prime minister to your employer

Ego lovers need more power

The trendsetters make things better

Don't sell out to be product pushers

The gyro casher and baby makers

Try something new cause it ain't over

All poor people from all over

Lottery's got a rollover

You can be a follower, but who's your leader?

Break the cycle or it will kill ya'

You can be a follower, but who's your leader?

Break the cycle or it will kill ya'

You leader, you lead can't, do what you do now

What really good that can happen to you?

You leader, you lead can't, do what you do now

What really good that can happen to you?

It's rough in here, but it's rougher out there

Try'na get up out it, I need to get paid

I feel a type of way try'na talk anarchy

But why should I obey when they don't check me?

It's rough in here, but it's rougher out there

Try'na get up out it, I need to get paid

I feel a type of way try'na talk anarchy

But why should I obey when they don't check me?

It's rough in here, but it's rougher out there

Try'na get up out here, I need to get paid

Hmm, hmm-mm-mm, hmm-mm-mm, anarchy

Uhh, uhh-uh-uh, uh-uh they don't check me

It's rough in here, but it's rougher out there

Try'na get up out it, I need to get paid

I feel a type of way try'na talk anarchy

But why should I obey when they don't check me?

It's rough in here, but it's rougher out there

Try'na get up out it, I need to get paid

I feel a type of way try'na talk anarchy

But why should I obey when they don't check me?
