Follow Protocol Lyrics by Snowtown

2020

My life's supposed to be simple. That's not the way it is, of course
Of course
Of course

Now, I don't wanna go to school
And get a job that I don't even really want
So tell my why I even gotta try at all
To follow protocol
Just to fall apart again
Apart again
Just to fall apart again
Just to fall a-

So tell me why I gotta sacrifice my life
And why I gotta do it all right now

Everything you told me was just a lie
Even if I go to school I won't survive

Why can't I just be free
Why can't I just be me

Every time I go to sleep, I dream of dreams where I'm not scared of anything
I sleep through my alarm so I don't have to face the monsters that are waiting for me
If I even try to speak to someone else, I freeze
Words all in my throat
That I can't spit out
Choking 'till I almost pass out
So I leave
Can't speak to anyone
But in my dreams
I'm free to live my life how I need
I'm free to live my life how I please

Walk across the street
Hope that no one sees
Hid behind a mask
Now it's part of me
Running from myself
Against them, I rebel
But tonight, look like everybody else
Bundled up in their own costumes
Unlike them, tomorrow I will wear mine, too
Wear the costume
Like a nice suit
Can't decline to
I've been trying to

We're the haunted few

Waiting 'till we crumble
Wait until we crumble
Waiting 'till we crumble
Waiting 'till we crumble
Wait until we crumble
Waiting 'till we crumble
Wait until we crumble
Waiting 'till we crumble
Wait until we crumble
Waiting 'till we crumble
Waiting 'till we crumble
Crumble
Crumble
Crumble

Don't leave me
Please
Don't leave me
I can't grow up, yet
I'm not ready

My life's supposed to be simple. That's not the way it goes, of course
Of course
Of course

Cause, I don't wanna go to school
And get a job that I don't even really want
So tell my why I even gotta try at all
To follow protocol
Just to fall apart again
Apart again
Just to fall apart again
Apart again
Just to fall apart again

Apart again
Just to fall apart again
Apart again
Just to fall apart again
