They Tell You
They tell you to smile all the time
But then wonder why the hell you're smiling all the time, saying it makes you look suspicious
They tell you to tilt your head and you'll see things a little bit different
But then wonder what the hell is wrong with your neck
They tell you to speak your mind
But then wonder why the hell you're not shutting up
They tell you it's okay to be different
But then wonder why the hell a guy's wearing make up
They tell you to follow your dreams
But then wonder why the hell you're always sleeping
They tell you to stand up for what you believe in
But then wonder why the hell you refuse to sit down
They tell you all these goddammed double standards
But then wonder why the hell you don't listen
