Where has our honesty gone? The world is spinning out of perspective Individualists More like conventionalists Wanting to be a free soul Instead, we’re losing control How do we define different? “Different A pseudo-polite way of saying something is unpleasantly weird or unacceptable” [www.urbandictionary.com] What about individual? “individual Individual's may actually conform, just to prove that they are individual from other individuals... There is no definition of an individual, for to define an individual is hideously oxymoronic.” [www.urbandictionary.com] All of these rules and ideologies Which become more like mythologies Giving us a…what… purpose? Because without one were all worthless? How does the media propel Drive some great minds down to hell But wait, sometimes those scars Are not the real person they are What about the girl next door Is she perfect? Or is she a ***** How come the prepped up **** Gets a thousand girls to put his **** -Y attitude towards What about all those hipsters “individualists” in all their glister PROTOTYPES We are always followed “To be, or not to be” Now THAT is a real question Why cant we all just BE F R E E Within our own minds Refuse ourselves to be confined But no matter where we go The world will be a tv show [scripted and masked] Because the crazy professor who screamed in the crowd Did a small scene from a movie out loud And the individualist across the street Got her haircut from Georgia O’deet While the artist down the road Saw his painting when it snowed Though its obvious we refuse to admit defeat Individual doesn’t march to its own beat
