The Effects of Mob Mentality, revised
Rumors are just rumors. Unless a lot of people believe in them. At that point, it might as well be fact. Even if you've never done anything wrong before. Even if said rumor seems completely out of character. It sounds true so it must be. Surely anonymous person number six isn't a liar. And yeah this may have ruined your whole life, but others thing you deserve it so it must be true right? Those hateful words they used must be hidden with good intentions. Because it must be true. Even if it isn't.

The Hate Train
Roller coaster... it propels you to the zenith of ecstasy to hurl you surlily to the pits of agony. It mocks your senses, turns your sensibilities upside down, pounds your heart to panic bewilderment. It dishevels your tranquillity, shoves you to a hysteric frenzy, pushes you into the dark world of insanity. Still, we cherish the thrill of its madness, outwit each other to jump on the bandwagon that takes us to the holes of delusion!

Judgement
What's your headline for the week? What's your game-plan this time? What cause are you fighting for? Grab your bullhorn and get in line. What bandwagon are you riding on? What views are you speaking now? What protest will you picket? What new beliefs have you found? Tell me why you fully commit to things that normally wouldn't mean **** Speaking about this, that, and those Issues-of-the-month is the life you've chose. You can't seem to embrace your past So now you're a bandwagon type-cast What's your overall goal here? What's in this for you? What possibly would make you change? Which life are you going to choose? Why are you lying to yourself? Why do you keep up this rouse? Why am I even caring? It's been 8 years since I loved you.

Ms. Bandwagon
Tell mother I found my way and this time I'll stay Tell insegnante I've got something to say and it all still sounds the same but I'm saying it my way Tell my favorite songs I think they're too long because they contain more than what I've seen Yell at the devil for being too loud, leaving me deaf, though I hear well enough, and tell him I've heard, well, enough of his cliche, heavy metal crowd Yell at the band wagon Tell it to stop for an oil change, and make sure it never rides again Its passengers have something to say, though they don't want to stay but they don't want to go away, though their noses are too long, and there's no fire in their song Tell them to say it their way though they want to runaway from their minds and from their hearts while never growing apart They can't have the best of both worlds My mind curls to the beat of its own bongos and shades of pink and red and black I find I don't lack firm ground, but am more abundant in frowns sometimes more abundant in smiles. Depends on the weather. After the people leave, that's when I know where I've come, how far I've come back to them So tell my best friend I'm still intact Tell the crowd I'm not out-of-whack Tell my favorite songs I've turned them into facts Tell all poets their words aren't to blame Tell mother that I'm okay

What's Different?
I must never lose sight of myself Lest my heart churns thoughts Into poison And everyone into a villain.
