Society

I used to sit and talk with you
Now she’s chirpin me and I can’t chirp her back
I just don’t open my mouth anymore
No!
Note to self :
Look everybody
Get ready for
Me.

Hey Mr. or Mrs.
Can I see you for a minute?
Listen to me, man
Callin out to you
Here I go
I’m goin crazy
I’m tired as hell
Of the tons and tons of people
Yo estoy mirando por la ventana
In the hallway
Ooh...lemme see!
It’s been awhile
Just like
Somebody else
Tons and tons of people
The victims of
Society – it sucks
It pissed me off
They got trashed too

Cuz I think
– What’s that word again? –
Society
Is
Mean
Angry
Fake
Stupid
Cold
Ruthless
Weak
Senseless
Full of scandals
Only in my way
Dangerous...very dangerous
Munchin and crunchin
Structure – fuck structure
Do you have a mirror?
It goes on and on
He gon find hisself right back in the same situation
It’s easy to see
What the hell are you doing?
Just filling in the blank
That’s just who I am this week
A notch in your bedpost

I was like...wait...no...
Isn’t it messed up
Yo, stop!
Stop that!
No one cares!
Shut up!
Like shut the hell up!
I don’t give a damn!
You think you bad but you ain’t bad
You’re drowning in the water
Stuck in reverse
You’re so far away
Which one’s to blame?
Why don’t you just go home?
You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you!
I can’t take livin with you!
I won’t turn out like you want me to!
I can’t pretend I don’t care!

I’m on kind of a...a mission
Breakin all da rules
There are some things money can’t buy
You’re just doing one thing
Here’s a revolutionary approach
You’re gonna write
Your own definition of
Mine mine mine mine me me me me
Be careful or you’ll
Lose somethin you can’t replace
You try your best but you don’t succeed
By Wednesday I can’t sleep
You’re tired but you cant’s sleep
You know why?
Society (Rescue me)
Threatenin the life it belongs to
You are the God and the weight of her world
All of the walls all continually change (Sometimes I fall so fast)
You find out how much they can take
Now she’s left cleanin up the mess he made

Are you ready?(If only I could run away)
Here goes the cold water
Hopefully you’ll make the right decision
But it’s hard to make the right move when you in high school
Go ahead and free yourself
Don’t try to convince us that you’re happy
I mean,
Could it be worse?
Your own definition of
Society
– Priceless –
Get to work!
Get a life!
Take care of it
Too little and the clay will crumble
I’m gonna ask him
No, you’re not!
Are you deaf?
Choking on your alibis
Be not concerned with what everyone else did
Believe in yourself and believe in what you did
You should feel good about that
If you never try then you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth
Becoming who we are
Thomas Edison said “Nope” 900 times
He just wouldn’t give up
Life
After a while, it’s gonna happen
I mean, just think about that
Your personal grade
Then WAKE UP
Completely ignore public opinion
30, 40, 50, 60 people all lined up doin the same step –
They call it linedancin now –
Boy, don’t make me come out there and bust your ass again
I will try to fix you
Would I have the strength to stand?
You need to
Go fix yourself!

Look at them
Are they making an announcement?
Want to get ahead
Keep on keepin’ on
Conflict
Who the fuck are you?
What the hell are you doing?
Why did they send you here?
I thought of all people you would understand
I could carve out of a banana someone with more backbone than that
You can’t get mad over that
– Like they have any right at all to criticize –

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Okay, crazy
Climax
Don’t think we’re crazy!
This is not nothingness!
Why are you so negative?
Why do I feel like I’m so much older than you?
Am I more than you bargained for?
He won’t give up that easy
You try to hide me
Deny me
No, I’m not gonna stop
It’s on the minds of many
You forget all the things
She said
You know the rule
Rules were made to be broken
Why?

Didn’t we just go over this?
The wait is over –
Do the math –
You only get one shot
Your last opportunity
Life’s like an hourglass glued to the table
Act now or miss out
You could just blink yourself away
Lose yourself
In
The fantasy game
(That’ll ruin everything)
You don’t hafta be hidin
Comin out of my cage
And I been doin just fine
It’s as simple as that
You can handle that one, can’t you?

I wish that you could
Always always always always please promise pinkie-swear to
Soldier on
Tryin to forget that
Society
Is right around the corner
And these times are so hard
He jus said
I promise

If you do (Why you around these cowards)
You’re gonna be alright, love
I love life
On my own
Had to make a sacrifice
Society
You know what I’m sayin?
I asked
Any questions?
He jus said
Thanx, man
(I ain’t hear ’em)
At least I can say I tried
I did all that I could
Thanx for listenin
