Let's track down the believers and call them hypocrites
Let's laugh and point, but only when their back are turned
The imperfect preaching against sin
What a joke
Isn't it obvious to them that people already are what they ever will be?
That change is unattainable?
Let's call them hypocrites when we're the ones full of irony
Running through minefields in the name of living
Walking into cages in the name of freedom
Stepping in front of trains for the feeling of security
Only realizing what we've done when the door locks and our legs are gone and the train hits
Let's call them the liars when we're painting smiles on our faces
"Rebels" fighting preacher's kids
Feminists fighting girly-girls
Hipsters fighting "the crowd"
Stereotypes fighting stereotypes
Our image means nothing
Being 'cool' or looking 'hot' goes no further than the temperature of our skin
And if skin is what you're focused on, you'll never reach the soul
When you try too hard to fight conformity, it swallows you
When you try too hard to "be yourself", you became lost
When we're standing here, fighting so hard to become different
WE
BECOME
THE SAME.
