|[Verse 1] | |||
There's miles of land in front of us | |||
And we're dying with every step we take | |||
We're dying with every breath we make | |||
And I'll fall in line | |||
A stranger's back is all I see | |||
He's only a few feet in front of me | |||
And I'll look left and right sometimes | |||
But I'll fall in line | |||
[Verse 2] | |||
No one looks up anymore | |||
'Cause you might get a raindrop in your eye | |||
And Heaven forbid they see you cry | |||
As we fall in line | |||
And about this time of every year | |||
The line will go to the ocean pier | |||
And walk right off into the sea | |||
And then we fall asleep | |||
[Verse 3] | |||
And as we near the end of land | |||
And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand | |||
I ask myself the question why I fall in line | |||
And then out of the corner of my eye | |||
I see a spaceship in the sky | |||
And hear a voice inside my head | |||
[Chorus] | |||
"Follow me instead" | |||
"Follow me instead" | |||
"Follow me" | |||
[Verse 4] | |||
Then the wages of war will start | |||
Inside my head with my counterparts | |||
And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase | |||
"This line's the only way" | |||
And then I start down the sand | |||
My eyes are focused on the end of land | |||
But again the voice inside my head says | |||
[Chorus] | |||
"Follow me instead" | |||
"Follow me instead" | |||
"Follow me" | |||
"Follow me instead" | |||
"Follow me instead" | |||
"Follow me instead" | |||
"Follow me instead" | |||
"Follow me instead" | |||
[Verse 5] | |||
Take me up, seal the door | |||
I don't want to march here anymore | |||
I realize that this line is dead | |||
So I'll follow you instead | |||
So then you put me back in my place | |||
So I might start another day | |||
And once again I will be | |||
In a march to the sea | |||
