Face In The Crowd

Copyright Karl Martino 1995

A Laughing Mad song I wrote in a fit one day. Ever feel marginalized? Ever feel like you don’t fit in? Ever feel like you’re walking in circles? Laughing Mad was a very unpolished band. Excuse the crazy playing. That’s me on guitar and my brother on vocals. But if you’re into punk or metal… you just may like it.

Endless masses
Livin’ day by day
Don’t wanna wake up
One morning and fade away

It’s so easy to get lost
In that nine to five grind
Don’t wanna lose yourself

Out on that business line

Just another song
Without meaning
Ain’t gonna take me down
Without me screaming

I don’t wanna be
Just another face in the crowd
I don’t wanna be

The quiet amoung the loud
I don’t wanna be
Just another face in the crowd
I don’t wanna be
The quiet amoung the loud

Too many people
Being what their not
They stay in the lines

And never give all they got

They play the game
Never to win
I’m gonna hammer down
Until the end

Just another page
In the book
To be turned

Without a second look

I don’t wanna be
Just another face in the crowd
I don’t wanna be
The quiet amoung the loud
I don’t wanna be
Just another face in the crowd
I don’t wanna be

The quiet amoung the proud

(solo)

I don’t wanna be
Just another face in the crowd
I don’t wanna be
The quiet amoung the loud
I don’t wanna be
Just another face in the crowd

I don’t wanna be
The quiet amoung the proud

(solo)

I don’t wanna be
Just another face in the crowd
I don’t wanna be
The quiet amoung the loud
I don’t wanna be

Just another face in the crowd
I don’t wanna be
The quiet amoung the proud
