Song by Bad Religion<br /><br> There's the image of a man <br> Who commands a high opinion<br> But he hides his hatred with a sheepish grin<br> <br> And beside him flanking closely <br> Are the boisterous hollow masses <br> Who lap up whatever trickles in<br> <br> This intercourse of nature, <br> This vulgar social pastime<br> Reflects the lowest mark of our progress <br> <br> And the few who ride peripheral<br> Maintain subtle advantage<br> Fighting hard to abstain and redress<br> <br> Do you know your place <br> In the big charade? <br> Are you more than they? <br> <br> Leaders and followers<br> Leaders and followers<br> <br> Recognition by proximity<br> And a brand new face<br> Just a smidgen of success pie<br> And a pinch of social grace<br> You can play with the big boys<br> Or you can tell them what to do<br> But sooner or later there's another one like you<br> <br> The voyeuristic public <br> Of which we're all a part <br> Maintains perspective on the human play<br> <br> And while many have desires <br> Of joining in the show<br> Many turn and go the other way<br> <br> Tell me do you know your place <br> In the big parade? <br> Are you fear and shame?<br> <br>
