Back to Main Page

Sharp, like the bolt of the taser strike

Left twitching and thrashing on the floor

Marked, like the man left on the spike

Rooted to the spot, nailed through the core - and

Follow my leader in the dark

A Game we play with blinded eyes

Follow my leader in the dark

And when we stumble – no surprise.

Taste the tang of the cordite rush

Blinded by the tracer and the flare

Waste our time on blind, mad, trust

Pull apart the tunic, the chest laid bare - and

Follow my leader in the dark

A Game we play with blinded eyes

Follow my leader in the dark

And when we stumble – no surprise.

Lied to and brainwashed by patriot scams

Tricked into giving again, again, again, again

Spied on and controlled you’re in their hands

Fooled into singing that old, old refrain - and.

Follow my leader in the dark

A Game we play with blinded eyes

Follow my leader in the dark

And when we stumble – no surprise.

Interred, at the last, with military honour

Fold the flag neatly for future use

Confer the medals, but you’re still a ‘goner’

Parents and lovers can only accuse – and

Follow my leader in the dark

A Game we play with blinded eyes

Follow my leader in the dark

And when we stumble – no surprise.
