Majority Rules

I could open up your ear and crawl inside your head
I could scream until my lungs burst but instead
I’ll just slowly fizzle like a candle in a storm
I’m on fire or out cold, and I can’t keep warm
You find the flaws in my words to support your case
You scrutinize every single move I make
But you fail to hear the notes pouring against you
Heart songs and done-me-wrongs travel in twos
You refuse to listen because you’re so damn right
You have healthy vision but you lack insight
I cannot help but wonder if you’ll ever learn
You knock down the righteous and speak out of turn
I can’t believe people like you have all the friends
This insanity is surely a sign of the end
Of the world and every good thing it contains
If you are the idol and I am just an ashtray
Then nothing is going the way I’d planned
I think I’ll go and hide now, beneath the sand

I am so psyched out by your mob mentality
Your overwhelming stampede of normality
I can’t understand how you’ve come so far
When all you’ve done is is hang onto the bar
Set by the people with whom you heartily agree
Tearing into my beliefs must be so easy
You must enjoy your throne in your big bubble
I reach out to pop it, but always stumble
How can I win against the likes of you?
The nonconformists don’t travel in twos
They’re all alone against the majority
Tearing down our fortress must be so damn easy
