Some people follow out of admiration
Others copy just for fun
Even a few can find justification
A hand full copy no one
Many follow blindly without course
Always quick to defend
Things that linger from yesterday
Re-inventing that same old friend
Forging a newer trend
Stop the treadmill to think
Forging a newer trend
Vague ideas on the brink
Forging a newer trend
Searching for recognition
Forging a newer trend
Finding no reconciliation
Falling prey to craving success
Take solace in the tried and true
No one cares if it's beaten to d**h
Formula prosperity's not new
What once began as original
Can find ma** appeal and approval
Smother an initial spark of brilliance
Becoming consumed at the public's disposal
Messages clear
- Retaliation in fear
Ridicule by peers
- Responding to self-expression
Set on your shoulders to bear
- Or still your vision
Change in direction amid worn out ideas
A tide of transforming perception
People copy to be what they're not
Lying to themselves - the saddest deception
