I don't trust the government   I don't trust alternatives   It's not that I'm paranoid   It's just that's the way it is      Everyday I hear a little scream inside   Everyday I find it's gettin' louder   I just want to reach out and touch someone   'Cause I find, I need a friend in this dark hour      We the people are gettin' tired of your lies   We the people now believe that it's time   We're demanding our rights to the answers   We'll elect a president to a state of mind      I trust in conspiracies   In the power of the military   In this wilderness of mirrors here   Not even my speech is free      Everyday I hear a little scream inside   Everyday I find it's gettin' louder   I just want to reach out and touch someone   'Cause I find I need a friend in this dark hour      We the people want it straight for a change   'Cause we the people are gettin' out of your games   If you insult us with cheap propaganda   We'll elect a president to a state of mind      Everyday I hear a little scream inside   Everyday I find it's gettin' louder   I just want to reach out and touch someone   'Cause I find we need a friend in this dark hour      When we the people have our backs to the wall   Do we the people then assume control?      When it's too late to stop our own execution   When we're faced with the final solution   You can't elect a dream revolution   When you've a bullet in the back of your mind   It's just a state of mind      I hear a little scream inside   It's gettin' loud, it's gettin' loud, it's gettin' loud   (State of mind)
