Follow My Lead Lyrics

Peter Piper caught the broke end of the bet

Buried leagues below in debt

Capped with six-shooter roulette

Light the candle so that everybody knows

There's a way for them to go

Oh, there's a way for you to go

Never thought it could be you till it is

Then the bubble bursts, time to wake up, kid

Think the big bad world wants to tear you down?

Either you get what's coming or turn things around

Don't wanna be a quarter-page piece in the news?

Gotta play the game right or surely lose

Never roll the dice or leave things to chance

It's not half as bleak once you take command

Close your eyes and count to ten

Follow

Follow my lead

Follow

Follow my lead

Can't keep ignoring these age-old choral warnings

You're tied to the tracks and the engine's roaring

Follow

Follow my lead

Boo

Polly Pewter lived life strictly by the book

Tallied every step she took

Spared nothing a second look

Draw the curtain so that everybody sees

There's a way for them to be

Oh, there's a way for you to be

In my day they wouldn't tolerate

All the wandering eyes of you reprobates

They'd have cut our tongues out and bound our wrists

If we had the nerve to behave like this

But there's still time for you to toe the line

Don't need crude visions or a warning sign

I can tell you now how you ought to be

If you wanna live beyond twenty-three

Advice buried 'neath the dust, you'd left behind

Everything you needed to be

Graceful, sharp, composed, and tasteful, now you know

Wisdom isn't what you make it

The time's come for you to sober up and see

Your ears are for more than music

Time machines are not just make-believe, you've got a free pass if you'd only use it!

Follow

Follow my lead

Follow

Follow my lead

Can't keep ignoring these age-old choral warnings

You're tied to the tracks and the engine's roaring

Follow

Follow my lead

Boo
