Jumping Someone Else's Train Lyrics

Don't say what you mean
You might spoil your face
If you walk in the crowd

It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train

It won't take you long
To learn the new smile
You have to adapt
Or you'll be...

And they try to force everyone else to do the same because anyone deviating rocks the "safe" boat, making them feel threatened. Status quo above all else.
