Believe in the Poet

Writer out of water
He's singing a noble song
But it doesn't matter
His body is rotting long
Way before the sprockets are changing
In this machine that controls the commonwealth

Push 'em all back
Put 'em up against the wall
Cry out loud for the individual
One percent representing your best liberties
Tease your ego, nothing more

Even though nothing will change
Even though nothing will

One in a million thoughts could change the world
Send a message through the wreckage
This division will never be
So let it be
Who knows what fires will breed from hours of woe
Believe in the poet
Believe in the poet
I hope

Here's to Washington
And they're watching out for all of them
Washing their hands clean
Of the dirty, the sick and tired, hungry and the poor
Always keep them counting, wanting
Four more years of smoke and mirrors

Try for all you can
Sing out loud for the common average man
Start inside a riot
Open up and get violent
Money always equals power
They censor you, get louder
Falling on deaf and jaded hands

Even though nothing will change
Even though nothing will

One in a million thoughts could change the world
Send a message through the wreckage
This division will never be
So let it be
Who knows what fires will breed from hours of woe
Believe in the poet
Believe in the poet
I hope

Taken from a lonely mother's son
I know I'm not the one
I'm not the only one
And I'm singing
Don't let them change you
Don't let them jade you
Don't let them change you
Don't let them jade you

One in a million thoughts could change the world
Send a message through the wreckage
This division will never be
So let it be
Who knows what fires will breed from hours of woe
Believe in the poet
Believe in the poet
I hope
