Live for Yourself

Life looks so unfair when you see it through these eyes
Cause some people seem to like
That we don't all share the same rights
It's a challenge to this day to be truly yourself
They keep saying we're all the same
But want us to be different
So get up and raise your flag
Got to take back your life
No one's gonna change that unless we join and fight
We can no longer act like this is alright
Division is your weapon but freedom is my knife

And you can call me what you want
If it makes you feel safe
To give a name to everything
And I guess you never had love if everything you do
Is drag down who's different from you
But see, that's not the best way to live
As you fix your insecurities by shading
Who you wish you could have been
But we won't let you win
You gotta stop imposing your violence
And learn to just live for yourself

So, you know some people need help
But you leave them in this mess
And all you care about is your money and your success
Holding that grudge for years
You don't give love a chance
Wielding your narrow beliefs to justify your ignorance
But we found out who you are
So you can no longer hide behind your racist thoughts
And your homophobic mind
So yes we'll get the law
But we must do something more
To stop intolerance and give our kids a better world

And you can call me what you want
If it makes you feel safe
To give a name to everything
And I guess you never had love if everything you do
Is drag down who's different from you
But see, that's not the best way to live
As you fix your insecurities by shading
Who you wish you could have been
But we won't let you win
You gotta stop imposing your violence
And learn to just live for yourself

How would you ever feel (Aren't you ashamed of being so unkind?)
If you were to bear all this? (You just don't know what it feels like)
Why can't you open your eyes?
Got to overcome the taboos and break all the rules
Until these walls fall down for good

And you can call me what you want
If it makes you feel safe
To give a name to everything
And I guess you never had love (had love) if everything you do
Is drag down who's different from you
But see, that's not the best way to live (Oh, yeah)
As you fix your insecurities by shading
Who you wish you could have been (Oh, no)
But we won't let you win (Woah)
You gotta stop imposing your violence
And learn to just live for yourself

You gotta stop imposing your violence
And learn to just live for yourself
