Follow Your Leaders by The Tangent Lyrics

Ten million people who all want to see the same movies
Ten million more who buy the same brand of shampoo
A whole generation just follows its leaders
Wearing the logos and pledging allegiance
To a culture that's spiralling into (and out of) control
As its leaders take hold

With Oscars and Nobels we hand out our thanks to the famous
With Pulitzers, Grammys we give our plaudits to our peers
Make governments from a few distinct choices
Create new methods to silence our voices
Hand over our own thoughts to systems we cannot control
And it's time to take hold

Billions of people with faith in some power almighty
Billions of others who call the same thing a different name
Then everlasting wars to follow the leaders
To satisfy their whims and the lies that they feed us
On a planet where there's enough wrong
To keep us busy for years
