Leaders and Followers
(Graffin)
There's the image of a man
Who commands a high opinion
But he hides his hatred with a sheepish grin
And beside him flanking closely
Are the boisterous hollow masses
Who lap up whatever trickles in
This intercourse of nature,
This vulgar social pastime
Reflects the lowest mark of our progress
And the few who ride peripheral
Maintain subtle advantage
Fighting hard to abstain and redress
Do you know your place
In the big charade?
Are you more than they?
Leaders and followers
Leaders and followers
Recognition by proximity
And a brand new face
Just a smidgen of success pie
And a pinch of social grace
You can play with the big boys
Or you can tell them what to do
But sooner or later there's another one like you
The voyeuristic public
Of which we're all a part
Maintains perspective on the human play
And while many have desires
Of joining in the show
Many turn and go the other way
Tell me do you know your place
In the big parade?
Are you fear and shame?
Ведущие и ведомые
Вот образ человека
Чье мнение главное
Но он прячет свою ненависть
за робкой улыбкой
И около него
Приближенные
Неистовые пустые люди
Которым удалось подобраться поближе
Это естественные отношения
Обычная общественная игра
Низший показатель прогресса
Те немногие, кто остается на периферии
Имеют мало привилегий
Деруться за место и награду
Знаешь ли ты свое место
В этой головоломке?
Лучше ли ты их?
Ведущие и ведомые
Ведущие и ведомые
Приближенность к избранным
И совершенно новое лицо
Только кроха из большой кормушки
И повышение социального статуса
ты можешь играть в большого мальчика
Или ты говорить им, что делать
Но рано или поздно найдется другой такой как ты
Подглядывающая общественность
К которой мы все относимся
Поддерживает развитие этой игры
И пока многие желают
Присоединиться к спектаклю
Многие разворачиваются
И идут другой дорогой
Скажи, знаешь ли ты свое место
В этой головоломке?
Лучше ли ты их?
Есть ли у тебя стыд и страх?

Are you fear and shame?
Leading and trailing
That image of a man
Whose opinion is important
But he hides his hatred
for a shy smile
And near
approximate
Violent empty people
Who managed to get closer
This is a natural relationship
Normal social game
Lower rate of progress
Those few who remain on the periphery
Have few privileges
Fighting for a place and reward
Do you know your place
In this puzzle ?
Better if you get them ?
Leading and trailing
Leading and trailing
Proximity to favorites
And a totally new face
Only crumb of a large trough
And social status
you can play in the big boy
Or do you tell them what to do
But sooner or later there is another like you
peeping public
To which we all treat
Supports the development of this game
And while many are willing
Join the play
many unfold
And going the other way
Say , do you know their place
In this puzzle ?
Better if you get them ?
Do you have shame and fear ?
