You're on the Bandwagon Now

You're on the Bandwagon Now

A Poem by realmwriter
"

A song about being broken down, picking up the pieces that are left and moving on triumphant, but...

"
                          VS1

Keep your head down, toe the line
Break your back and crush your spine
Wear the weight of the worry stone
Work your fingers to broken bone

Over the ledge the lemmings come
Wringing hands your mind is numb
Feel the pressure your curdled blood
Sift the ashes through thickened mud

                       (Bridge)
So you walk the street to clear your mind
Focused on the traffic zipping by
Alone inside yourself, beside yourself

                       (Chorus)

EVERYBODY WANTS TO SHAKE YOUR HAND NOW
YOU'RE SO LIKEABLE NOW
EVERYBODY WANTS TO CLAP YOUR BACK NOW
YOU'RE ON THE BANDWAGON NOW

                            VS2

Everything in its do time will waist 
Destruction comes in quickest haste
Raining in your pride courage falls 
Broken down in these closing walls

Reality dissolves wax that's burned
Nothing questioned nothing learned
Pick it back up where they left off
Others will scorn and they will scoff

                       (Bridge)
So you walk the street to clear your mind
Focused on the traffic zipping by
Alone inside yourself, beside yourself

                            (CHORUS  �-2)

EVERYBODY WANTS TO SHAKE YOUR HAND NOW
YOU'RE SO LIKEABLE NOW
EVERYBODY WANTS TO CLAP YOUR BACK NOW
YOU'RE ON THE BANDWAGON NOW

                               VS3

Their mocking glances steel their sight
There's nothing easy you'll have to fight
You're too terrified you're falling down
Just click your heals and wear your crown

Mock them back for what they are
Laugh it off you've come too far
Pick up the pieces build them back
Save yourself for another attack

                       (Bridge)
So you walk the street to clear your mind
Focused on the traffic zipping by
Alone inside yourself, beside yourself

EVERYBODY WANTS TO SHAKE YOUR HAND NOW
YOU'RE SO LIKEABLE NOW
EVERYBODY WANTS TO CLAP YOUR BACK NOW
YOU'RE ON THE BANDWAGON NOW
