Freak Flag

We're taught to be like them Taught to know our place We've kept the pace, but we're done pretending A fault line through their fairy tale endings They tried to sell us on convenience and conformity Those aren't the measures of the man that I wanna be (Rise up if you agree) And let your freak flags fly We're all messed up inside And forced to act like everything's alright Wave those freak flags high Rejected 'til we die To hell with tomorrow Just let your freak flags fly tonight We're taught to fall in line Taught to know the rules We've played the fools, and we're over the laughter They can keep their vapid happily ever-afters They can't sell us on convenience and conformity Those aren't the properties of people that we wanna be (Rise up if you agree) And let your freak flags fly We're all messed up inside And forced to act like everything's alright Wave those freak flags high Rejected 'til we die To hell with tomorrow Just let your freak flags fly tonight We form a different mold, stuck in a different skin We will never back down, we will never fit in A different breed, stuck in a different skin We will never back down, we will never fit in So let your freak flags fly We're all messed up inside And forced to act like everything's alright Wave those freak flags high Rejected 'til we die To hell with tomorrow Let your freak flags fly We're all messed up inside And forced to act like everything's alright Wave those freak flags high Rejected 'til we die To hell with tomorrow Just let your freak flags fly tonight
