Follow The Leader

Follow the leader
Just be part of the crowd
Never wavering and always living in fear
Ever cowering, never standing strong and proud

Live by the letter and die by the code
Forget having any sense of self or individuality
Stay in line, and keep your eyes on the road
But, if you do look around, then tell me what you see

For you each day begins and ends the same
As you work like a slave for the man, just so you can survive
Without thought to your own hopes and dreams, you play the game
Speaking the words of your double-talkin jive

Today could be the day that you make it all so different
You could take a chance, start to make a change
If you think you've done you're part, done the time, and paid your rent
Than it's time you moved on to better days

Or you
Could just

Follow the leader
Be just another face in the crowd
You could never waver, and always live in fear
Ever alone, ever cowering, never knowing how to stand

Why can't you just be strong and proud
