No Followers Songtext

For workers in black shoes that shine won't come in
With their ladies in gowns that last a month
I guess the old provincials were such scourges
I was fooled at a cutthroat's table so was shunned, so was shunned

So things got better, things got lost
I knew what I had come for but I couldn't pay the cost
Less power to the people, more power to the boss
And things got better, so I was lost

I am a leader but you will not follow me
I ain't no preacher for I'm full of blasphemy
See you in hell boys
See you in hell boys

Now many songs've been written of the barstool
Of drowning folks in pitchers full of beer
But I assure every turn I made I choose it
But I know that I feel safety when I'm here
I've had enough of your taxman and your puppets
And now the only word I trust is the one that's mine
We'll carry on pushing stones and counting sand
I'll be here, beaten down but still alive

So things got better, I was lost
I knew what I had come for but I couldn't pay the cost
Less power to the people, more power to the boss
And things got better, so I was lost

I am a leader but you will not follow me
I ain't no preacher for I'm full of blasphemy
See you in hell boys
See you in hell

Hey!

Yes barman, I will surely have another
This one's for an old fool, yeah he still walks on his own
I don't ever let them tell me I have nothing
I stopped searching, I sat down; it was here I found my home

I am a leader but you will not follow me
I ain't no preacher for I'm full of blasphemy
See you in hell boys
See you in hell boys
