Follow the Leader

Don't text back too fast, you'll come off desperate
Don't leave the party early, make a dramatic exit
This is what we live for, we're livin' to die
'Cause all we ever wanted was to be well-liked
And it's social suicide (social suicide)

It's comin' from the dark and we can't react
There's voices in my head sayin' do this, do that
And we're fallin' to our knees

[Chorus]
They want us to follow the leader
Put your face on be an American dreamer
Then they can't believe her
'Cause she did what they said
With her Calvin's on, leavin' all her texts "read"
You got issues if you don't want a 9-5
'Cause how the hell are you gonna stay alive
When we thrive on the money and bein' well-received
And all you do is follow cause you're too damn scared to lead

Whatcha wanna be when you grow up
Is it famous?
They wanna sell it to you like it could be yours
Like that's what fame is

But the reality is hashtag hashtag, here's a little cash
Sell your soul and be a little bad
Paint yourself as somebody who isn't really there
'Cause we're too dumb to notice and too dumb to care

It's comin' from the dark and we can't react
There's voices in my head sayin' wear this, say that
And we are fallin' to our knees

[Chorus]
They want us to follow the leader
Put your face on be an American dreamer
Then they can't believe her
'Cause she did what they said
With her Calvin's on, leavin' all her texts "read"
You got issues if you don't want a 9-5
'Cause how the hell are you gonna stay alive
When we thrive on the money and bein' well-received
And all you do is follow cause you're too scared to lead

I'm just waiting for the fall
I'm just waiting for a wake up call
Somebody please stand up
I guess we'll just follow, follow
