Don't Follow

Sick Of It All · Built To Last [1997]

Thought enters your mind, something of a find

Too bad it's really trite and unoriginal.

This poor sap just wants to fit

And couldn't give a shit

If his actions stand

For compromise.

Wakes up, realizes too late

Has to accept the fate of being

The target to humiliate



Givin' in control of your mind

Givin' in control of your life

Givin' in control of your mind

Givin' in control, better watch out



You could be handing your whole shit away.

Better watch out

Nothing unique, just a pale imitation



Don't follow, don't follow.

Follow your instinct, follow what's right.

Don't fall for fashion, don't fall for hype.

Follow your viscera, follow your soul.

Don't let the powers that be have control.



Movements have the knack

To give you what you lack.

Too bad you joined the thought organization.

Once you find yourself involved

Nothing's really solved.

Mind control can do just what you let it.



Givin' in control of your head

Givin' in control of your heart

Givin' in control of your head

Givin' in control, better watch out



So much for cherishing what makes us different.

Just watch out.

So much for cherishing what's so important.



Don't follow, don't follow.

Follow your instinct, follow what's right.

Don't fall for fashion, don't fall for hype.

Follow your viscera, follow your soul.

Don't let the powers that be in control.
