I make now a stand for belief that I'm steadfast
In hating all of the bullshit you give me
About my future, present and pastWho are you to infringe your values upon me?
(I've learned the hard way)
Stepping on my toes, you've put my back to the wall
(My back to the wall)I've been told a thousand times to give respect when due
Why do you find it so hard to believe, I've got none for youIt's my heart and my mind that I'll always follow
(I will not break)
Nor will my balls although that I've seen that you've tried before
(Why are people fake?)Maybe you're older, wiser in your own right, it's your mistake
I'm gonna do my own thing regardless, my choice to make
I am real, in touch with my feelings and I know my place
You have shown, on the other hand, both sides of your faceI see the world in a different light
Things are always black and white
Through all these years still to this day
My hardened eyes see only shades of greyI would never try and tell you what was right from wrong
Maybe that's why you feel that I don't belong
Always put me down for things I've said and done
Can't you see it's a war that can't be wonA war that can't be wonLiving in your world seems so clear on concise
Shutting out reality makes everything so nice
Paint a pretty picture, black and white everyday
See my tattered canvass bleeding shades of greyMaybe you're older, wiser in your own right, it's your mistake
I'm gonna do my own thing regardless my choice to makeShades of fucking grey
