Uniform
Good Riddance Lyrics

To be oppressed in the eyes of the sacred sons
The sacred sons view some people as inferior and have the power to oppress them.

All the airs and the vacant stares
Despite your intimidating looks, you have no power over me.

Will never make me think that you're better than me
Your exterior show of superiority does not fool me or make you better than me.

You know you'll never be better than me
I'm confident in my own worth, and I know you can never be better than me.

Seems to me it's all about how we feel inside
The true measure of a person is how they feel and act on the inside.

Were in conflict with our natures
We often struggle to reconcile our true selves with the expectations of society, leading to inner conflict.

We all struggle with our pride
Our egos can sometimes hinder our growth and prevent us from connecting with others.

Don't try to stop the world from changing
Change is inevitable, and trying to prevent it is futile.

I know it gets so much sometimes
Dealing with overwhelming change can be difficult and draining.

You feel like giving up your dreams
Sometimes in the face of change, it's tempting to abandon our goals and aspirations.

So you turn it outside
To avoid dealing with your own issues, you project your insecurities onto others.

When there's no place left to hide
When you can no longer escape from yourself and your issues, you must confront them.

When it's all said and done
In the end, when everything is finished and settled,

It's just another uniform
Lacking any real difference or superiority, those who enforce authority simply wear an empty uniform.

To brace up the facade of authority
The uniform is just something people wear to maintain the illusion of power and control.

You're just like every one of us
Despite any perceived differences, in the end we're all human and share the same experiences.

So don't pretend to be so much better than me
There's no reason to act superior or put on a show of authority, because deep down we're all the same.

Hiding out so scared of who we just might be
We often hide from ourselves and our potential out of fear of the unknown.

When the pain's too great you've got to isolate
When we can't deal with our pain and issues, we tend to distance ourselves from others.

Or take it all out on me
Some people would rather inflict their pain and frustration on others than deal with it themselves.

Yeah but the badge don't make you better anyway
Wearing a symbol of authority doesn't inherently make you better than anyone else.

And your fleeting sports elation
Engaging in a temporary thrill like celebrating a sports victory doesn't bring true fulfillment or address deeper issues.

Is never going to chase those fears away
Superficial distractions can never cure or replace our underlying fears and insecurities.

So just remember
Remember this important truth.

When there's no place left to hide
When you've exhausted all of your escape routes and must confront yourself,
