Who do you think you are?
Trashing around judgments and opinions
That aren't yours to make

Who do you think you are?
Saying one thing in front of our eyes
And another behind our backs

Who do you think you are?
Running away with your enemies
Snatching away all our prior beliefs

Who do you think you are?
To take my friend from me
Only to use her just as you did me

Who do you think you are?
To have the right to discriminate
Against race, *** or gender

Who do you think you are?
To assume our reasons behind our actions
To provide information that you don't know for certain

Who do you think you are?
Coming into our lives with the sole reason of destroying
All the things that we cherish, treasure and love

Who do you think you are?
To invade my private space by saying you're there for me
And when we finally give in to your constant nuisance, you strike

Who do you think you are?
To fake being strong, to falsify your testimonials
To base love on false pretence and to breathe for competition

Who do you think you are?
To put down another without trying to understand them
To assume the worst of people when we're all looking for the same things

Who do you think you are?
To say you love me when you don't
To say you'll protect me when you're never there

Who do we think we are?
When our lives have been based on societies' prejudice and presumptions
And it takes all our courage to simply be...
