  1. There's miles of land in front of us,
  2. And we're dying with every step we take,
  3. We're dying with every breath we make,
  4. And all fall in line
  5. A stranger's back is all I see,
  6. He's only a few feet in front of me,
  7. And all look left and right sometimes,
  8. But all fall in line
  9. No one looks up anymore,
  10. 'Cause you might get a raindrop in your eye,
  11. And heaven forbid, they see you cry,
  12. As we fall in line
  13. And about this time of every year,
  14. The Line will go to the ocean pier,
  15. And walk right off into the sea,
  16. Then we fall asleep
  17. As we near the end of land,
  18. And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand,
  19. I ask myself the question, why
  20. I fall in line
  21. Then out of the corner of my eye,
  22. I see a spaceship in the sky,
  23. And hear a voice inside my head
  24. Follow me instead
  25. Follow me instead
  26. Follow me
  27. Then the wages of war will start
  28. Inside my head with my counterpart
  29. And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase
  30. This line's the only way
  31. Then I start down the sand
  32. My eyes are focused on the end of land
  33. But again the voice inside my head
  34. Says, follow me instead
  35. Follow me instead
  36. Follow me
  37. Follow me instead
  38. Follow me instead
  39. Follow me instead
  40. Follow me instead
  41. Follow me instead
  42. Take me up
  43. Seal the door
  44. I don't want to march here anymore
  45. I realize that this line is dead
  46. So I'll follow you instead
  47. So then you put me back in my place
  48. So I might start another day
  49. And once again, I will be
  50. In a march to the sea
