We The People - Rodeo Remix

If everyone is complaining about the government all the time
Then why do we even have one at all
Bro, if we didn't have a government things would be much worse
It'd be like one of those end-of-the-world video games

Let me tell you about the government and what they're supposed to do
Like help us solve our problems and keep us safe, too
We were born with inalienable rights
Like the pursuit of happiness, liberty and life
We got freedom of speech, and it's their job to defend it
From all our enemies, foreign or domestic
Elected officials they work for us
We hold them accountable and they earn our trust

They built the bridges and the roads
The green lights that say, "Go"
Did you know the government should work for you and me?

By the people, for the people
Power to all the people
That's why united we stand
By the people, for the people
We were all created equal
All across this land

There's so many things that the government does
That most people take for granted, never knowing there was
So much work done to keep the public services running
From the schools to the firefighters, down to the plumbing
But a government can only be as strong as its citizens
It's a reflection of its constituents
Get out the vote so they got to acknowledge us
They promised it was justice and liberty for all of us

They run the buses and the trains
They regulate the planes
Did you know the government should work for you and me?

By the people, for the people
Power to all the people
That's why united we stand
By the people, for the people
We were all created equal
All across this land

Accountability requires commitment
Let's get involved, it'll make a difference
Let's join together, let's take a stand
We shouldn't have to beg for a helping hand
Accountability requires commitment
Let's get involved, it'll make a difference
Join together, let's take a stand
We shouldn't have to beg for a helping hand

By the people, for the people
Power to all the people
That's why united we stand
By the people, for the people
We were all created equal
All across this land

By the people, for the people
Power to all the people
That's why united we stand
By the people, for the people
We were all created equal
All across this land
