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
