Aim to Please?

Is that really you or just a mantel of identity
You throw on as soon someone else is around
Then get undressed tear it down?

This wall of expectations to fit into the congregation
Dress codes attitudes brought to you by some money hungry corporation
It's all make-believe, a rebellion cut to fit (cut to fit)
And made acceptable
Made acceptable

Is this really us or are we becoming just another product
Formed and confined by the expectations of others
Of who we are and what we should do?

But if we only aimed to please you
We would still be playing the same old songs as yesterday
And if you don't understand what I mean
Well, what can I say?

Hero of our time was a funny song back then
But to play it today would be kind of lame
Yeah, hero of our time was a funny song back then
But to play it today would be kind of lame

But if we only aimed to please you
We'd still be playing the same old songs as yesterday
But if we only aimed to please you
We'd still be playing the same old songs as yesterday
