Loss of Thought

Mind if I ask if there's anything left
When it comes to common sense 
With Band wagon outside you jump on for the ride
Not caring if it's East or West 

Where you carry the tune of a marching buffoon 
A Lemming at the edge of the cliff 
No one's leading the charge, you just think that they are
...crowd control at its best

As you continue to do what they tell you to
More common but very little sense
Where I used to laugh now I find it sad
As no one seems to check the facts

You can boo hoo and cry, chase butterflies 
In this fantasy world you live
Cover your ears along with your eyes
Could you cover your mouth instead

But alas you're in the loop of monkey see monkey do
Here's a little secret that can't be kept
What you thought you once knew no longer rings true
That has a lot to do with the lack of common sense

Great job, Mike! Yes, it seems as if common sense is not so common anymore. Excellent!!
