(Verse 1)
Look at the worker ant
always does what he's told
as he works for a master
that is so cruel and so cold
He never questions
cause that's not his place
so he keeps himself silent
as he maintains the pace
no ambition
no soul
a simple mission
a fire that's cold
he'll follow the pack
rather than be in the lead
now there's no turning back
cause he don't want to be freed
(Chorus)
You're just a number. There is no you
cause you follow blindly
it's all you do
you want to rise up but it's too late
you were too afraid
now you've sewn your fate
all of a sudden you want to speak
you may have a voice
but it rings so hollow
all of a sudden you want to lead
but you lack the will
you were born to follow
(Verse 2)
Look at the toy soldier
falling in line
just wind him up
and he'll follow behind
he thinks he is satisfied
he thinks he's content
but every order they give him
it punches a dent
in his mind, in his heart
in his pride, in his soul
and this daily grind
is now far far too old
now he wants to fight back
and break from the spell
but he's stuck in the muck
in the jaws of his hell
(Chorus)
You're just a number. There is no you
cause you follow blindly
it's all you do
you want to rise up but it's too late
you were too afraid
now you've sewn your fate
all of a sudden you want to speak
you may have a voice
but it rings so hollow
all of a sudden you want to lead
but you lack the will
you were born to follow
*echo*
follow, follow, follow, follow
(Guitar solo/instrumental)
(Verse 3/break)
follow the leader
follow the leader
if you're so happy why don't you fall right in line?
follow the leader
follow the leader
why don't you follow until the end of your time?
(Chorus)
You're just a number. There is no you
cause you follow blindly
it's all you do
you want to rise up but it's too late
you were too afraid
now you've sewn your fate
all of a sudden you want to speak
you may have a voice
but it rings so hollow
all of a sudden you want to lead
but you lack the will
you were born to follow
*echo outro*
follow, follow, follow, follow
