i had a friend who wrote a song
said he wrote it off a feeling
you know
livin
real meal tickets
then he died
chorus:
don’t follow the leader
don’t follow the leader
don’t follow the leader
don’t follow the leader
they’re dumb
now i was born to be somebody
but his name slips my mind
and if one man can change the world then baby
i’m just fine with mine
and activism is cool and all
but i promise apathy’s where its at
being selective on what you care about
keeps your mind’s mountains flat
(chorus)
