We are led by the light at the end of the tunnel We are guided by the fires of our burning dreams We're inspired by our ideals and driven by conscience To cross what the cynics perceive as naive We the people want it straight for a change We the people are getting tired of your games We the people want the answers laid out on the lines Better no more of your cheap propaganda And stop talking tic-tac-toe We the people fight your arms dealers wars
We the people want our futures secure We the people want a peace staying all the way So cut out your message And take all your talking tic-tac-toe Everyone needs a symbol of their own, the truth If you don't know of the reason Well how can you take a stance in this way You need to be sure You need to return to an open door Taking a lesson from me Taking a lesson from me The children that play tic-tac-toe
