No Suits, Just Shants

(album: Brand New Me - 2011)

I continue to find myself trapped inside
Of your demands:
Incorporate, wear bullshit ties,
Sign away your life.
Have you failed to recognize?
Success isn't measured in the weight of our golds and dimes.
Or did you forget that your word is our biggest prize?
RESPECT

Smite me I'm a fraud.
From now there's no more limits.
I can go on without your grace.
Smite me I'm a fraud
I can't continue living
At least in your ways, your terms.
Stand down and RESPECT.
Smite me and your cause
Abolish all the limits.
I can go on without disgrace
Fly south and swift
Before perdition finds us.
Find the place where you belong.

I've been born into collective minds
With numbers and politics.
I'm grateful I'm nothing close to this.
So raise those fist and count your shots,
Cause each punch you throw could be the last one that you got.
So go on and live your life,
This is the last time
That I'll live inside the lines.

Your years in gold,
Fooled the world's decree.
But it takes more to deceive me.
And don't you ever come around here, again.
