One of my kids reminded me of a song by Michael Card. It is a song for children. I needed it.
Especially headed to church.
The Bully’s Tune
These are the clothes that you must wear
And this is how you should cut your hair
You’ll act just like we tell you to
You’d better give up and dance to the bully’s tune
As he sings this simple, stupid song
You’d better give up and go along
You’ll look just like some sad cartoon
Cause that’s your life when you dance to the bully’s tune
We played a song, you did not dance
We sang a dirge, this is your last chance
To do just what we tell you to
You’d better wise up and dance to the bully’s tune
The more you see you know it’s true
The world will tell you what to do
But don’t give ear to the big baboon
And don’t give in and dance to the bully’s tune
He’ll play his song but don’t you dance
He’ll sing a dirge but there’s not a chance
That you’ll do what he tells you to
Cause you won’t listen, no you won’t listen
No you refuse to dance to the bully’s tune
