Follow your leaders


By the people for the little people
Here's how we like to start of the set:
?Dude, where's my coke?? is followed by a weak joke
That segues into ?vote democrat?

Oh, how upsetting!
It seems I've neglected to mention
That punk used to be so dangerous

Follow your leaders, come all true believers
We're charming and lovable misfits
Fall into line like you do all the time
And whatever you do, don't grow up

Listen up friends, Romans and countrymen
We're not your father's rock and roll band
?No brown M&Ms? Gee, ain't I irreverent?
See? Please notice, I laughed at myself

Aren't we original?
PBR logos
On all of our t-shirts and record covers
Follow your leaders, come all true believers
We're frat boys with sillier haircuts
Fall into line like you do all the time
And whatever you do, don't grow up

Let's head out to Punk Rock Bowling, then The Fest is on our list next
Cargo vans in place of little cars; dyed hair instead of fezzes
Who will whip his dick out first, then chase three Xanax with a fifth of Jack?
We're so bad!

Girls! Girls! Please try and control yourselves!
Drop your panties after the show!
Calm down! There's plenty of me to go around
Now from which ass shall I snort this blow?

Come on, can't you laugh? Dude, the DT's are rad
Oh, you killjoy, just go back to Jesusland

Or follow your leaders, come all true believers
We're snide flippant social piranhas
Fall into line or you'll be left behind
And whatever you do, don't grow up

Follow your leaders, come all true believers
We're reliving high school as winners
Fall into line like you do every time
And whatever you do, don't grow up

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics FOLLOW YOUR LEADERS of SCREECHING WEASEL is also present in the album First world manifesto (2011)

Biografia

Screeching Weasel are a punk rock band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1986. Considered one of the most influential bands in the pop-punk movement of the 1990s, they have released a vast discography characterized by catchy melodies and ironic and often self-critical lyrics. Their sound is a blend of classic punk rock, power pop and melodic hardcore, with influences from bands like The Ramones, Buzzcocks and Green Day. The band has gone through several lineups over the years, but frontman Ben Weasel (Ben DeLape) has always remained the central figure. Among their most notable albums are "My Brain Hurts" (1993), "All the Songs About You" (1995) and "How to Make a Punk Rock Record" (2001). Screeching Weasel have helped define the sound of modern pop-punk, influencing numerous subsequent bands. Some of their most representative songs include "Teenage Wasteland", "She's My Girl" and "The Ballad of Ben Weasel".
