Follow the Leader
We’re following the leader.
The leader?
The leader.
We’re following the leader.
Wherever he may go?
But you won’t be home till morning.
Till morning?
Till morning.
You won’t be home till morning.
I guess if he tells us so.
But why are you following the leader?
The leader?
The leader.
Why are you following the leader,
Wherever he may go?
I guess cause he’s the leader.
The leader?
The leader.
I guess because he’s the leader,
That’s why we follow him so.
But he’s only the leader…
The leader?
The leader,
He’s only the leader,
Because you follow him so.
I just don’t know.
What if you stop following wherever he may go?
I guess we’d have to find our own flow.
Now that’s the way to go!
The leader?
The leader.
We’re following the leader.
Wherever he may go?
But you won’t be home till morning.
Till morning?
Till morning.
You won’t be home till morning.
I guess if he tells us so.
But why are you following the leader?
The leader?
The leader.
Why are you following the leader,
Wherever he may go?
I guess cause he’s the leader.
The leader?
The leader.
I guess because he’s the leader,
That’s why we follow him so.
But he’s only the leader…
The leader?
The leader,
He’s only the leader,
Because you follow him so.
I just don’t know.
What if you stop following wherever he may go?
I guess we’d have to find our own flow.
Now that’s the way to go!
