People always say they say so,
People always say they won't approve,
People always say they don't give a ****,
People always say they mean the world.

Who the hell are they?
Who the hell are the people?

Maybe it's the cool kids?
Maybe it's they wise fossils?
Maybe it's the social media?
Maybe it's the parents
Or the older siblings?

Why not call them by their names?
Why not call them by their statuses?
- The fossils, cool kids, siblings, parents, social media?

Why listen to them,
When you've got your own voice?
Why listen to them,
When you know you've got your own choice?
Why listen to them,
If you know the right from the wrong?
Why listen to them,
If you know you can say something better?

Why listen to them?
They make it all up as they go along,
Why can't you?
They heard it from someone else,
Don't be the third person to follow a mistake.
- And please no, don't listen to your heart,
You'll get blood all over you.
Think logically,
That's why you got a brain!
Listen to your own voice, don't follow the unknown people, there may be a reason for them being unknown.
