Lemmings - Lyrics - Janis Joplin

Janis Lyn Joplin was an American singer-songwriter who first rose to fame in the late 1960s as the lead singer of the psychedelic-acid rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company, and later as a solo artist with her own backing groups, The Kozmic Blues Band and The Full Tilt Boogie Band. Her first ever large scale public performance was at the Monterey Pop Festival; this led her to becoming very popular and one of the major attractions at the Woodstock festival and the Festival Express train tour. Joplin charted five singles; other popular songs include: "Down on Me"; "Summertime"; "Piece of My Heart"; "Ball 'n' Chain"; "Maybe"; "To Love Somebody"; "Kozmic Blues"; "Work Me, Lord"; "Cry Baby"; "Mercedes Benz"; and her only number one hit, "Me and Bobby McGee".

That's the role of the government Keeping track of what you spend now, It's our land of freedom and democracy, With the budget gone and spent, Seperation imminent and we're expected Happily to fall in line and so we fallow the leader And what he does know why I'm doing it Just because I'm of thinking for myself. Oh ya and I hope to god I don't stir the pot keep my brain from Original thought oh lemmings are cool Lemmings are fun not too distinct and I wanna be one right now. Front of her was a long white line should she go Or should she try to listen to her friends When she wasn't sure no opinion of her own Soon enough you were alone Cause it's hard to find a friend when you're on a ledge Well I'll make my decision for myself Without listening to anyone else oh lemmings are ***, Lemmings are dumb, and I wanna be one right now.
