Pop cultures taken over,
The cops make us look over our shoulders not gangsters,
So many Emos it's not a state of mind But movement,
A sign our nation is so full of emotional uninvolment,
Drugs are our solvent,
Coming up with more problemd, and nobuddies gonna solve em.

Ideas are good and so's a statement,
It's what makes us sapient,
But this shits running rampant,
We all shout FREEDOM! from oppression,
But we slave our selfs to ideals and movements,
We conform to what others define as freedom that we lose it,

We all say "where dead inside" but we all lie,
We believe where what's socially executable,
In this generation that's anything that's not you,
Be different! Conform to a standard of none standardness!
Be black, female or gay,
Only express your right to complain!
Subgigate those who disagree, if it's not what you believe, then nope not aloud,
But look ma I can raise my VOICE SO LOUD!
I've got nothing important to really say but it's about power,
Don't need reason just argue,
Oh there not listening time to riot,
My opinion is slightly valid so I'll use it,
I know the system so I'll abuse it,
Fight and scream till we lose it,
We all care to much what others think,
So crazy our shrinks need shrinks,

Counter cultures a war
Race is a war
Nationality is a war
Gender is a war
Politics is a war

So much fighting and opressing,
It's no wonder we all find it depressing,
So caught up in how we are or are not dressing,
Every little situation we have be stressing,
Weve all been constantly rushing,
And still don't know where we are heading,

I don't call for a movement or violence,
But of a bit of silence,
We need to stop worrying about what we don't have and open our eyes to what we do. We live in the most free and open societies on the planet. The world is laughing at us because in our insanity and vainity we've fooled ourselfs into thinking we've got it bad, it's just honestly sad. There's a time for raised voices and rebellion and there's time for a measure of silence.
