you wear it like a uniform   rebel with words   but still conform   you don't know what you're saying   you don't know that you're playing   the same game   you just can't tell   wanna be so different   but out you still sell   it's all an image   are you blind to see?   it's all a pop-culture fantasy      constant contradiction   check your diction   the only cause of friction   is your perpetuating fiction   elitist you may stand   but in time you'll fall   the platforms you stand on   (the platforms you stand on)   aren't held up at all      i shoot down your ideals   i put down what you do   ignorance, my excuse   for everything i do   in spite of you   but never follow through      please don't waste your time kid   i've heard it all before   regurgitated more   the more that you portray   this image you display   you're just a copy   why can't you see?   it's all a petty punk rock fantasy      i shoot down your ideals   i put down what you do   ignorance, my excuse   for everything i do   in spite of you   but never follow through
