Do this, do that
Pitter, pat, pat
Follow in line
Believe the lie
No minds their own
I think alone
Don’t speak my mind
‘Cause fault they’ll find
So feelings deep
To self I keep
Feelings shallow
Their lives fallow
They don’t want saved
Way they’ve behaved
Each of them, all
Certain to fall
Shaking my head
As they’re all led
Consciences fail
Arms start to flail
Redd the attack
I just stand back
No need of those
Follies morose
Not choosing wars
Or set’ling scores
Just piece of mind
Someone in kind
To find one now
Somewhere, somehow
Lemmings all gone
I stand alone
My mind’s at ease
My soul’s at peace
And now I’m free
To just be me
