Norms, customs and values All build up across the years Chains of the collective How to act among one's peers Hidden rules of conduct No dissension is allowed Full support required There is no way out Listen now, you have to do this Listen well, you have to say this Rules wrapped tight around both your wrists Things may never change All these things they want you to do It's a pattern you must break through Stop the thoughts of what you ought to Poisoning your veins Break away Take hold of your life Shake off their chains around your heart Don't delay Good things will arrive You'll leave your future unbarred Everyone is watching you You're never cut some slack Follow the collective Or be discussed behind your back There's concern if you'll conform Adhering you must be But do they follow their own norms? Hypocrisy! Listen now, you have to do this Listen well, you have to say this Rules wrapped tight around both your wrists Things may never change All these things they want you to do It's a pattern you must break through Stop the thoughts of what you ought to Poisoning your veins Break away Take hold of your life Shake off their chains around your heart Don't delay Good things will arrive You'll leave your future unbarred Struck out on my own I've reordered my life Wrath can still be shown but I ignore it Now sincerity and tolerance can thrive Following my heart I'm soaring Seen as a dissenter The intolerance is rife Reject the collective And ban their vices from your life Ignore those complying They don't know what else to do Their souls might be dying It's just a taboo! Listen now, you have to do this Listen well, you have to say this Rules wrapped tight around both your wrists Things may never change All these things they want you to do It's a pattern you must break through Stop the thoughts of what you ought to Poisoning your veins Break away Take hold of your life Shake off their chains around your heart Don't delay Good things will arrive You'll leave your future unbarred
