lyrics

Crowd surfing on waves of depression
Board made of hate from the facial expressions
Shores of the wasted bathe in rejection
Life boat politics save your suggestions
Saviour’s a razor for terror wrist ache
Spray mist from your last mistake now come play
Awake in the wake of yesterdays future
We die every time we sleep so used to the
Cousin of death under the covers and left
Now welcome to the safety blanket not net
The bait that you take is your faith in a step
Onto fresh terra firma that’s out of your depth
So lend me your ears I’ll take your hand
An organ donor and a shadow of a man
Sell by date fresh faith in a can
Mind body and money come get with the plan

Come join us moving with the crowd
Your fear will fade away
Come join us moving with the crowd
Your fear will fade away

Crowd surfing on waves of the same sound
Out searching for fame in a name brand
Found hurt in the merchants of Graceland
Jerking the chain of the slaves to the main crowd
Best stay down if your image ain't straight
Make sure that you're up to date or go die
Make haste so the limits don't break
You can hide everytime you dress so why choose to just
Follow the steps of those hollow at best
Welcome to the cloning factory you're next
You tread in fresh threads for anonymous sex
But show no logo I've got a lot on my chest
Show me your trends I'll jump aboard
And buy my life from the front of your store
Bandwagon phantasms love the applause
But only consume when it comes with a cause

Come join us moving with the crowd
Your fear will fade away
Come join us moving with the crowd
Your fear will fade away

I sound the horns you get your fix
No bag of tricks you’re stuck on empty
Word is bond now ain't that slick
We just don’t mix so save your pennies
The skies have torn it’s raining bricks
My greenhouse schtick is ruckus ready
Crowd of thorns so many pricks
Oh my days so fucking trendy

Now take my hand
Now take my hand
Now take my hand
Now take my hand

Come join us moving with the crowd
Your fear will fade away
Come join us moving with the crowd
Your fear will fade away

If you ain't with the crowd you don't mean nothing to me
If you ain't with the crowd you don't mean nothng to me
If you ain't with the crowd you don't mean nothing to me
If you ain't with the crowd you don't mean nothng to me
