Call It What You Want
Foster the Peoples Lyrics

Call it what you want
I don't care what you call it, it doesn't matter to me

I said just call it what you want
I am repeating myself because I really don't care what you call it

Yeah we're locked up in ideas
We are trapped by our own beliefs and ways of thinking

We like to label everything
We tend to put things into categories and give them names

Well I'm just gonna do here what I gotta do here
I am going to do what I need to do, regardless of what anyone else thinks

'Cause I gotta keep myself free
I am doing this to maintain my personal freedom and independence

You're ducking and moving just to hide your bruising from all your enemies
You are avoiding confrontation and trying to protect yourself from those who oppose you

And I'm in the crossfire dodging bullets from you expectancies
I am caught in the middle of your conflict and trying to avoid the negative consequences of your expectations

We've got nothing to lose
We are not afraid of losing anything because we have nothing to lose

You better run and hide
You should be afraid and try to protect yourself

Yeah you've crossed the line
You have gone too far and violated our boundaries

I've got a knife behind my back (just sayin')
I am ready to defend myself if necessary

Your social guides give you swollen eyes
You are trying too hard to fit into societal norms and it is causing you emotional pain

But what I've got can't be bought so you can just
What I possess cannot be purchased, so you should just accept it as it is

You've taken your words and you take your judgments
You are applying your opinions and thoughts onto everything and everyone

And stick them onto everything
You are trying to impose your beliefs onto others and things that don't necessarily fit your standards

If it don't conform to what you were born into,
If things don't fit into the traditions and norms of your upbringing

Then you run the other way
Then you avoid it and distance yourself from it

You say, "now what's your style and who do you listen to?" who cares?
You are asking about my style and musical preferences, but it doesn't matter anyway

Well that rat race ladder-climbing fake-face smile's got nothing on me
I am not interested in participating in the competitive and fake aspects of society, it is meaningless to me
