Appeasing

Just like in the rest of life
around any crowd (your kind)
No matter what you really feel
your kissing their behind

Pretending that you do agree
so you don't feel their wrath
Flock of sheep, no matter where
you follow in their path

They call it fear, you shake inside
if you don't play along
The bad comes out in all of them
you know you're doing wrong

You want to leave them all behind
and go your separate way 
Can not help it though you try
won't let you have your say

You'll be tagged by many names
they must control your mind
Can't have you thinking on your own
to truth, you must be blind.....
