Opposite of You
You say you made a friend
When you slit his throat he respected you
It feels dishonest to pretend
When everyone is out to get you!
You're just doing what needs to be done
To survive another merciless round
They'll find a way to take your toys
If you don't beat them down
Before they even know you exist
What can I do? You go be you—
I'll go be the opposite of you
Dip your hands first
And then clutch your purse
Make sure you never end up like me
On your Fear-Hate TV
I fear you misunderstand
The nature of our day in the sun
You talk of wolves and sheep
And the free and the brave
Who fixed it all with a gun
But all I see are wonders
Where your miracles refuse to appear
And when you're done deciding I'm weak
I will drown you out and then kick you
Back over to fear
What can I do? You go be you—
I'll go be the opposite of you
Just hit reverse and then floor your hearse
Enjoy your next life of blaming me
For your own misery
Traditions die. Your idols cry. They sing
Whatcha gonna do about it?
The righteous fall. The smart control. They sing
Whatcha gonna do about it?
What can you do? You're only you
Wronged and denied, robbed of every joy!
Those saints you called
Know it's not your fault
It's just a sacrilegious ploy
Opinions lie. Your minions sigh. They sing
Whatcha gonna do about it?
The zealous fall. The selfless roll. They sing
Whatcha gonna do about it
When you slit his throat he respected you
It feels dishonest to pretend
When everyone is out to get you!
You're just doing what needs to be done
To survive another merciless round
They'll find a way to take your toys
If you don't beat them down
Before they even know you exist
What can I do? You go be you—
I'll go be the opposite of you
Dip your hands first
And then clutch your purse
Make sure you never end up like me
On your Fear-Hate TV
I fear you misunderstand
The nature of our day in the sun
You talk of wolves and sheep
And the free and the brave
Who fixed it all with a gun
But all I see are wonders
Where your miracles refuse to appear
And when you're done deciding I'm weak
I will drown you out and then kick you
Back over to fear
What can I do? You go be you—
I'll go be the opposite of you
Just hit reverse and then floor your hearse
Enjoy your next life of blaming me
For your own misery
Traditions die. Your idols cry. They sing
Whatcha gonna do about it?
The righteous fall. The smart control. They sing
Whatcha gonna do about it?
What can you do? You're only you
Wronged and denied, robbed of every joy!
Those saints you called
Know it's not your fault
It's just a sacrilegious ploy
Opinions lie. Your minions sigh. They sing
Whatcha gonna do about it?
The zealous fall. The selfless roll. They sing
Whatcha gonna do about it
