FIRST WE DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL
YOU CAN CALL ME 'CULIO'
UNTIL WE GOT ACTIVITIES
AND MURPH OPENED THE STUDIO
SO NOW YOU WANT TO TAKE IT BACK
I SWEAR TO GOD MY COOL WILL BLOW
IF YOU DIDN'T WANT US TO HAVE IT
THEN WHY YOU GIVE IT TO US FO'
PLUS IT'S GONNA GIVE TJ A WAY
HOW TO GET HIS POCKETS PAID
PROBABLY DON'T WANNA GO TO COLLEGE
THEN HE'LL TEACH LITTLE 'T' A TRADE
THEN I'M GONNA TELL YOU THIS
DEMOCRACY IS COOL WITH ME
SO THROW YOUR HANDS UP
JUST FOR DEMOCRACY
IT'S ALL ABOUT DEMOCRACY
SEE Y'ALL DON'T SEE WHAT WE BE SAYIN'
WE'RE NOT A BUNCH OF PUPPETS
SO, DIRTY, NO WE AIN'T PLAYIN'
JUST TRYIN' TO GET OUR POINT ACROSS
BUT BEFORE WE VOTE WE ALREADY LOST
IT FEELS LIKE YOU MOCKING ME
IT'S ALL ABOUT DEMOCRACY
DEMOCRACY IS WHAT WE NEED
PLEASE D.E.S.E. LET IT BE
DEMOCRACY IS WHO WE WITH
AND EDUCATION IS WHAT WE GET
Y'ALL TRYING TO TAKE IT AWAY
Y'ALL JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
WE THE PEOPLE ELECTED
SO NOW WE GONNA STAND!
THE SYSTEM ALL MESSED UP
THEY TRYIN' TO TAKE THE STUDIO
LEFT EVERYBODY LOOKIN' LIKE
MAN WHAT'S THE DEAL-I-O
TO ME I THINK IT'S SILLY THOUGH
WE JUST STARTED WARMIN' UP
AND NOW THEY TRYIN' TO THROW US OUT
I WONDER WHAT THEY'RE THINKIN' 'BOUT
IT'S ALL ABOUT DEMOCRACY
SEE Y'ALL DON'T SEE WHAT WE BE SAYIN'
WE NOT A BUNCH OF PUPPETS
SO, DIRTY, NO WE AIN'T PLAYIN'
JUST TRYIN' TO GET OUR POINT ACROSS
BUT BEFORE WE VOTE WE ALREADY LOST
IT FEELS LIKE YOU MOCKING ME
IT'S ALL ABOUT DEMOCRACY
DEMOCRACY IS WHAT WE NEED
PLEASE D.E.S.E. LET IT BE
DEMOCRACY IS WHO WE WITH
AND EDUCATION IS WHAT WE GET
Y'ALL TRYING TO TAKE IT AWAY
Y'ALL JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
WE THE PEOPLE ELECTED
SO NOW WE GONNA STAND!
