Labels

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

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 categorise to keep ourselves divided

We are all individuals not the images provided

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!
