There was a time when that certain someone 
Who told the world the emperor had no clothes on
Was seen as a visionary, a sage, a hero,
But nowadays, if you don't go along 
With the opinions of the mob,
They'll trample you right along with
The pearls that someone's thrown out
To the swine as they follow the lemmings
Over the cliff.

You might be a visionary,
A sage, a seer or a prophet,
But you'll be nothing left but a 
Greasy spot along the trail for speaking your mind,
And no one will even name a day for you,
Or include you on a list of saints or martyrs to forget,
Much less a pantheon,
But they might call you a devil,
And name you "Satan'sSpawn."
