like sheep you follow
with eyes so hollow
trusting the word of each other
not to rise against your brother
it's the fellow man
the one with the plan
and you drink it in
time and time again
trusting in words where there's no truth
the sadness of our misled youth
don't you have opinions, your own voice
whatever happened to the beauty of choice
you put all your faith in empty words
and repeat everything you've heard
don't you have a single thought
other than the things you're taught
when you're grouped together, like this
the truth is there, it's hard to miss
and you look like animals being led to slaughter
