Labels lyrics

Call me punk cos I wear a leather jacket Call me a hippie cos I believe in love and peace Call me an idealist cos of songs like this one You can call me what you like I am all and none of these [Chorus:] Fix a label on me to keep illusions happy Fix a label on me does it make you feel secure? Fix a label on me to keep me at a distance And I'll label you as ignorant not wanting to know more Before we understand ourselves do we have to fight each other? Before we share opinions must we keep them undercover? We classify and categorize to keep ourselves divided We are all individuals not the images provided [Chorus] Labels are a subtle way of keeping us in line Divided by conformity we waste away our time We are all individuals divided by their rituals Think again like I have done--throw away the labels! [Chorus]
