I Will Not Follow |
| You say that you will carry the torch |
| You say that you will beat the winning drum |
| You’ll be there when the saints roll in |
| With a back made of rubber, half made out of tin |
| How many times does the snake crawl out of it’s skin? |
| You change your spots |
| But I will not… |
| You say you’ll put your trust in that old American flag |
| You say there is still no place like home |
| That you’ll still go to war when your papers come |
| Surrender your nerve to a gatling gun |
| Come back home maimed |
| Tell everyone you’ll be happy with the time that you’ve got |
| But I will not… |
| I will not follow! |
| I will not follow! |
| I will not follow |
| You say that you’ll wear the colours, blue and grey |
| You say you’ll wear the colours, black and red |
| You wear whichever colour shines most, bright so |
| You can shine like Blake’s eternal tiger in the night |
| You say that you will carry the torch |
| You say that you will beat the winning drum |
| You say that there is still no place like home |
| No place like home, sweet home |
| You say that everyone’s gotta change their spots |
| But I will not… |
| No, I will not |
| I will not follow! |
| I will not follow! |
| I will not follow! |
| I will not follow! |
| No! |
