Follow the leader, stay in the lines
What will people think of what you've done this time?
Go with the crowd, surely somebody knows
Why we're all wearing the emperor's clothes
Play it safe, play by the rules
Or don't play at all - what if you lose?
That's not the secret, but I know what is:
Everybody dies but not everyone lives
(x2)
I'm gonna run like I've got the cops on my tail
I'm gonna live my life like I'm out on bail
I'm gonna be out front, gonna blaze a trail
I'm gonna, I'm, gonna, I'm gonna cross that line
Everybody freeze - don't step over the line
Don't stand up, they'll shoot down the first one who tries
Try to change the world, they'll think you're out of your mind
Revolution starts when someone crosses the line
They want us to lie, don't give into the lies
Nothing has to change, and no one has to die
That's not the secret, but I know what is:
Everybody dies, but not everyone lives
(x2)
I'm gonna run like I've got the cops on my tail
I'm gonna live my life like I'm out on bail
I'm gonna be out front, gonna blaze a trail
I'm gonna, I'm, gonna, I'm gonna cross that line
Don't let other people define you and tell you how to live your life. We can't have a revolution, and nothing will ever change, unless someone dares to stand up and say, "This isn't right. This is a lie and someone has to stop it. I'm not afraid to be who I am. I'm not afraid to stand out." And that is how the lost get found. That's how change begins.
