People will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want

People will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want

Some people will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(You got 'em well trained now)

People will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(To keep you in your place)

Every night and every day
Some will fall upon their swords
In order that they might serve
The greater good but don't believe a word of it

People will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(You got 'em well trained now)

Some people will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(They dare not complain)

As crazy as a king
As bent as a snake
But there are some things
They will never ever say

Some people will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(To keep you in your place)

Hear the lying every day
I see the same expressions on them
How they long to speak their mind
But something always stops them dead
Should be shouting from the mountain
At their top of their voice
"This is not right, this man is a fake"
But they will follow him down
To the edge of the cliff
And if he tells them to jump
They will jump right in

Some people will tell you
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
(You got 'em well trained now)
Whatever you want

You raise your hand
And they respond
And they will tell you
Whatever you want
