[Lyric] The People Want to Believe (Attention)

[Verse One]
There’s a man behind the curtain
What’s his rank? What’s his role?
Is it all about the blind control?

How will I ever find out
If I don’t stand up and try?
I can’t live a lie, can’t live a lie
(Lie)

[Pre-Chorus]
Wake me when it’s over
(I can’t take it)
Tell me that it’s over
(Did we make it?)
Wake me when it’s over
I can’t take it now
I’m too busy falling down

[Chorus]
(I need something, I need something)
Kneel down and beg for what you need
(I need something, I need something)
Let me tell you something: the people want to believe
[Verse Two]
That there is something bigger
Oh, we better learn to love
‘Cos this ain’t the world we’ve been dreaming of

Gotta stop the man behind the curtain
Who regulates the game
With bullets, war, and bombs of blame

[Pre-Chorus]
Wake me when it’s over
(I can’t take it)
Tell me that it’s over
(Did we make it?)
Wake me when it’s over
I can’t take it now
Something [??] burning down

[Chorus]
(I need something, I need something)
Kneel down and pray for things to change
(I need something, I need something)
Go out silent ’til this [???]
(I need something, I need something)
What they want, and what they think they need
(I need something, I need something)
Let me tell you something: the people want to believe
[Bridge]
They’ve spoken
No’s not gonna work this time
It’s a protest song
Sing it over again
We’ve spoken
No’s not gonna work this time
It’s a protest song
Sing it over again

[Chorus]
(I need something, I need something)
Kneel down and pray for things to change
(I need something, I need something)
Go out silent ’til this [???]
(I need something, I need something)
What they want, and what they think they need
(I need something, I need something)
Let me tell you something: the people want to believe

Wake me when it’s over
