[Intro]
C’mon now!
Well well, well—well

[Chorus]
Who is the leader of the people?
(who is the leader?)
And who’s gonna really think about the people?
(follow the leader!)
Well, who is the leader?

[Verse 1]
I’m in a state of confusion
And I don’t know if I’m up or down
Now I swear I heard the man say something else
And now he’s changed it—yes he did—all around

[Chorus]
Who is the leader of the people, y’all?
(who is the leader?)
And who’s gonna really think about the people?
(follow the leader!)
Well, who is the leader?

[Verse 2]
Politicians taking my money
And he takes it with a smile on his face
Well, I’m gettin’ kinda hungry as I’m sittin’ here wonderin’
Who needs money, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord [?]
Oooh—it’s all I know....
[Bridge]
Lord, ooh!
(who is the leader of the people?)
Will somebody tell me now, Lord?
(who is the leader of the people?)
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna know, tell me
(who is the leader of the people?)
Oooh, Lord

[Chorus]
Somebody tell me ‘cause I gotta know
(who is the leader)
Who is the leader of the people?
Well, well, well
It’s been on my mind
(who is the leader)
It’s been worrin’ me all the time
Who is the leader of the people?
I gotta know now
Somebody tell me
(who is the leader)
‘Cause I wanna know who is the leader of the people?
I gotta know
I gotta know
Somebody tell me
(who is the leader)
‘Cause I wanna know
Who is the leader of the people?
