Playing to the Crowd
They ask me if I knew him, I have to say I did
We'd solve the problems of the world even though we were just kids
Arguing in black and white on each side of our class
He with silver spoon in mouth and me with one of brass
They ask me if he meant well, I have to say he did
but his heart was in his pocket, that's something that he hid
It's easy to be liberal with interests not at stake
When others have to pay the price for all of your mistakes
Playing to the crowd, that's the safest way to go
If you can't give them what they want, give them a good show
When you're playing to the crowd, you'll always have a friend
It's only when your time has passed, they'll see what you have spent
They ask me if he understood, just what was at stake
But to him it was all the same to him when the crowd began to wave
Here you have my principles, a great man once said
And if they're not to your liking, there are others in my head
The question that need to ask is why time and time again
We accept the choices passed down by Hobson and his friends
When the crowd is cheering and the heart begins to race
That's when our eyes are blinded to what lies behind the face
Playing to the crowd, that's the safest way to go
If you can't give them what they want, give them a good show
When you're playing to the crowd, you'll always have a friend
It's only when your time has passed, they'll see what you have spent
Playing to the crowd, that's the safest way to go
If you can't give them what they want, give them a good show
When you're playing to the crowd, you'll always have a friend
It's only when your time has passed, they'll see what you have spent
We'd solve the problems of the world even though we were just kids
Arguing in black and white on each side of our class
He with silver spoon in mouth and me with one of brass
They ask me if he meant well, I have to say he did
but his heart was in his pocket, that's something that he hid
It's easy to be liberal with interests not at stake
When others have to pay the price for all of your mistakes
Playing to the crowd, that's the safest way to go
If you can't give them what they want, give them a good show
When you're playing to the crowd, you'll always have a friend
It's only when your time has passed, they'll see what you have spent
They ask me if he understood, just what was at stake
But to him it was all the same to him when the crowd began to wave
Here you have my principles, a great man once said
And if they're not to your liking, there are others in my head
The question that need to ask is why time and time again
We accept the choices passed down by Hobson and his friends
When the crowd is cheering and the heart begins to race
That's when our eyes are blinded to what lies behind the face
Playing to the crowd, that's the safest way to go
If you can't give them what they want, give them a good show
When you're playing to the crowd, you'll always have a friend
It's only when your time has passed, they'll see what you have spent
Playing to the crowd, that's the safest way to go
If you can't give them what they want, give them a good show
When you're playing to the crowd, you'll always have a friend
It's only when your time has passed, they'll see what you have spent
