I Will Not Follow Lyrics - Waterboys

You say that you will carry the torch 

you say that you will beat the winning drum 

You'll be there when the saints roll in 

with a back made of rubber, half made out of tin 

How many times does the snake crawl out of its skin? 

you change your spots 

But I will not... 

You say you'll put your trust in that old American flag 

you say there is still no place like home 

That you'll still go to war when your papers come 

surrender your nerve to a gatling gun 

Come back home maimed 

tell everyone you'll be happy with the time that you've got 

But I will not...

I will not follow! 

I will not follow! 

I will not follow 

You say that you'll wear the colours, blue and grey 

you say you'll wear the colours, black and red 

You wear whichever colour shines most, bright so 

you can shine like Blake's eternal tiger in the night 

You say that you will carry the torch 

you say that you will beat the winning drum 

You say that there is still no place like home 

no place like home, sweet home 

You say that everyone's gotta change their spots 

But I will not... 

no, I will not
