Stavros Hughes - Follow My Lead

Peter Piper caught the broke end of the bet
Buried leagues below in debt
Capped with six-shooter roulette
Light the candle so that everybody knows
There's a way for them to go
Oh, there's a way for you to go
Never thought it could be you till it is
Then the bubble bursts, time to wake up, kid
Think the big bad world wants to tear you down?
Either you get what's coming or turn things around
Don't wanna be a quarter-page piece in the news?
Gotta play the game right or surely lose
Never roll the dice or leave things to chance
It's not half as bleak once you take command
Close your eyes and count to ten
Follow
Follow my lead
Follow
Follow my lead
Can't keep ignoring these age-old choral warnings
You're tied to the tracks and the engine's roaring
Follow
Follow my lead
Boo
Polly Pewter lived life strictly by the book
Tallied every step she took
Spared nothing a second look
Draw the curtain so that everybody sees
There's a way for them to be
Oh, there's a way for you to be
In my day they wouldn't tolerate
All the wandering eyes of you reprobates
They'd have cut our tongues out and bound our wrists
If we had the nerve to behave like this
But there's still time for you to toe the line
Don't need crude visions or a warning sign
I can tell you now how you ought to be
If you wanna live beyond twenty-three
Advice buried 'neath the dust, you'd left behind
Everything you needed to be
Graceful, sharp, composed, and tasteful, now you know
Wisdom isn't what you make it
The time's come for you to sober up and see
Your ears are for more than music
Time machines are not just make-believe, you've got a free pass if you'd only use it!
Follow
Follow my lead
Follow
Follow my lead
Can't keep ignoring these age-old choral warnings
You're tied to the tracks and the engine's roaring
Follow
Follow my lead
Boo
