hidden ones

she's holding a torch in her hand

pointing towards heaven

and on the streets below her people living out of trash cans

are trying to believe she's got a plan

we dug a hole under the sea

but nobody knows how to stop the bleed

there's 999 channels on my tv

and i still have no idea what to believe

but there is a choice

follow the leader or use your voice

cause this'll just keep up until we make a loud noise

and the hidden ones speak up

over the water to the east

two million in a square refuse to sleep

'till every pleading voice is heard

and all the world has seen their revolution

pull a king down to his knees

cause they made a choice

not to follow their leader but use one voice

shows ordinary people can make a really loud noise

when the hidden ones speak up

oh the hidden ones

oh the hidden ones

he started drinking too young

tucked in his jeans now is a gun

and the stories of his ancestors

they will never be sung

for he's going where they do not see the sun

ah but look! there's a circus in town!

watch as the lion eats the clown!

tell me who is out there leading on the ground?

who will catch the boy before he drowns

if they're busy putting shows on for the crowd?

oh there is a choice

you can follow the leader or use your voice

cause this'll just keep up until we make a loud noise

and the hidden ones speak up.
