lyrics

I tried the real world, but the real world doesn't work.
The plastic mould of marketing that sculpts you from your birth.
It's a Hollywood Hegemony where you have to be a man,
aggressive and protective are the values of his land.
Tolerant of difference, until you cross his line then
it's to hell with understanding; that is yours and this is mine.

You're not an individual, you're just a target market.
A romantic macho hero; you have to be a man.
It's a Hollywood Hegemony, aggressive and rejective;
a fallacy where your self-worth is measured by the clothes in which you stand.

I don't need your rat-race, I've got a rat race of my own,
a cage in which I stand in, a place that I call home.
I try to find the freedom buried deep inside my mind,
far from expectation, from corruption, from confine.
Tolerant of difference, until you cross his line then,
it's to hell with understanding, that is yours and this is mine.

Ska Punk as good as it gets. Other bands would benefit from taking notes. Culture Shock is relevant as always with the contemporary lyrics, and the music will force you to nod in rhythm whether you want to or not. Droote
