Oakwater - Peer Pressure Lyrics

When you catch yourself just following the rules
Too afraid to question why
When you find yourself in lockstep with the fools
Too scared not to comply
When you hear you saying things you don't believe
Just to be in with the crowd
Regurgitating lies they've fed you on TV
Because the truth is not allowed
When you're running with the herd
Even though it seems absurd
When you're moving with the pack
Going blindly down their track
When you're turning black and blue
From all the hoops they put you through
Then you better know it's true
Peer pressure's got to you
When you see you as the shadow of a ghost
Of the person that you were
When your own mind is the thing you miss the most
Your independence just a blur
When they've got you as a number not a name
A statistic they can spin
A checkmark in a box, but still you don't complain
Because you feel you must fit in
When you're dancing to their song
But you know their tune is wrong
When you're marching to their drum
And all you want to do is run, run, run, run
When you're compelled to do
The crazy things they tell you to
Then you better know it's true
Peer pressure's got to you
When the freedoms that you knew
Are nowhere left in view
Then you better know it's true
Peer pressure's got to you
