Lyrics

Why should I act when I only need to sing,
There are things that I don’t understand
Why should I walk when I only need to drive
I can thrive in this burning land
Why should I care when I only need to think
That the rules are for someone else
Why should I stand and expose the man I am
I should find a way to hide and blend in

Where should I go to escape the coming storm?
There are places where I can feel safe
Where should I hide to escape the judging eyes?
There are places where I should feel safe
Everything above and everything below
Are concerns someone else should field
How do you know if I keep it all below?
You won’t know where I’m coming from

Why should I talk about something specific?
Why not something across the board?

How can I fly underneath the blazing sky?
When I’m followed by an Earthly gaze?
I want to spread little lies to get ahead
But I don’t want you to hold me to that
Why should I think anymore about your rights
I shouldn’t have to wave my hands
Do what I say, and ignore the things I do
There's a time to stand up and fight

Nobody knows what the future holds in store
Except the one who keeps his finger on the pulse
The noise is like a Buzz, and a Killjoy to be sure
But it’s not like I’m here to spread the word
Why should I act when I only need to sing
When there are things that I don’t understand
Why should I stand and expose the man I am
I should find a way to hide and blend in

What matters to you isn’t for everyone
We need something more generic
Why would I talk about something specific?
Why not something across the board?

Not less generic
Not more specific
Something that covers the spread
