Counting Sheep
Stray From the Path Lyrics
Start moving your feet, don't just run your mouth
Recognition is weighing you down
(Without a doubt) You're always skipping a beat with no sound
It's so hard keeping up, keeping up with the crowd
Start moving your feet (moving your feet), and don't just run your
Mouth (without a doubt) just skipping a beat with no sound
It's so hard keeping up, keeping up with the crowd
And now I'm stuck here wondering how you think it's fine
Smiles, cheers and high fives, I'm surprised
It's enough in life just to get by
Notoriety is your motivation
High society crumbles with no foundation
(Be prepared) In a country that cries wolf, faking the heart
There hides a beast and he will tear you apart
Post that pic with a hashtag
You wanna get mentioned because you need the attention
And you can repost this, 'cause I don't give a shit
If you got something to say, well you can tag me in it
Post that pic with a hashtag
You wanna get mentioned because you need the attention
And you can repost this, but do you give a shit?
No matter what they say, we know you'll follow it
So follow this, come on
Start moving your feet, don't just run your mouth
Recognition is weighing you down
(Without a doubt) You're always skipping a beat with no sound
It's so hard keeping up, keeping up with the crowd
Start moving your feet (moving your feet), and don't just run your
Mouth (without a doubt) just skipping a beat with no sound
It's so hard keeping up with the crowd
Now you're facing the changes while everyone is complaining
Your time is nothing but wasted, I hope it tears you apart
Running for cover like everyone and their mother
But in the end you will suffer, so was the flag worth your heart?
Was the flag worth your heart?
In a country that cries that wolf, faking the heart
There lies a beast and he will tear you apart
In a country that cries that wolf, faking the heart
There lies a beast and he will tear you apart
In a country that cries that wolf, faking the heart
There lies a beast and he will tear you apart
I hope he tears you apart
Don't look, don't look, don't look this wolf in the eyes
You're just a sheep like the others
Running for cover like everyone and their mother
Don't look this wolf in the eyes
You're just a sheep like the others
Running for cover, run for cover
Start moving your feet, don't just run your mouth
Recognition is weighing you down
(Without a doubt) You're always skipping a beat with no sound
It's so hard keeping up, keeping up with the crowd
Start moving your feet (moving your feet), and don't just run your
Mouth (without a doubt) just skipping a beat with no sound
It's so hard keeping up, keeping up with the crowd

The beginning guitar riff is one of my favourite parts on the record. The idea behind the song was to write about people who need to feel some sense of entitlement or notoriety after doing something. Certain people need to be noticed or recognised for their actions. A good example to help explain what we are saying is 9/11. It took something terrible to happen to our country for people to start believing in themselves as people and as a country, After that day you couldn't drive anywhere without seeing the American flag on every house, seeing a bumper sticker that reads 'These Colors Don't Run' when half the time everyone is running and following what other people say and do. People were doing it to because they thought they had to, not because they wanted to.
One of the coolest vocal parts on the record lives in this song where we say 'post that pic with a hash tag, you wanna get mentioned because you need the attention' and we're calling out all the people who forcefully post themselves just to get a like, a poke or a mention. This is what matters to people, this is the world we live in, and it's very scary. We just want people to take action with their lives and actually mean what they say rather then do something for recognition.
A lot of Americans don't know much about our country they are just led to believe what they are told. They stand in place, voiceless and helpless, whether it's on the news, in the paper, or in everyday advertisements, no matter where you look the media is always forcing some line of bullshit down our throats. That doesn't mean it's right or true. One of the main things this band has always stood for and said was to think for yourself, be yourself, and try and make a difference. If you have something to say then say it, but make sure you can back it up with some actions as well. Do not be silent."

"Post that pic with a hashtag, you wanna get mentioned because you need the attention". Best line of the song, I even want to post this song with that line under it but I'll probably get a lot of hate of all my "Facebook friends" hahaha
