Don't Follow

lyrics

I don't follow advice
I don't follow the rules
I don't follow you wen you say
what you do all day

I don't follow the leader
he's reckless and cruel
don't follow that liar
want only to make him pay

I've always had a penchant for an eye for an eye justice
many men would be blind if i'd been consulted

my victims would feel remorse
but there's no justice for a crime such as yours
the wind would blow around my high horse
my gleaming sword cutting down to change the course

but you're always saying
what good would that do
you say i see the other side
c'mon we can make it through

now I don't live for bad futures
I don't live by a lake
don't dwell on everything
that can break

from the well of kindness
I'm watering care
I can grow it up better for us
if i dare

lay down my gleaming sword and learn to really care
lay down my gleaming sword and learn to really care
say goodbye to an eye for an eye and learn to really care
say goodbye to an eye for an eye and learn to really care

lay down my gleaming sword
gave her my gleaming sword
gave her my gleaming sword
