Breeding Hypocrisy
Rusty Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't show ignorance,
Cuz you always cover it with make up


You can't show your ugly face
Cuz you hide it behind that green mask

Dress to be respected
For what you wear not for what you really are


You show no arrogance
Cuz you’re always performing so well


Beware, our world is so unfair, it's so unfair
Hypocrasy breeding
Show me your face now, show how repulsive you really are


So you loose your fame, and suddenly everyone is gone


They just respect you for what you have
They don’t respect you for what you are, what you really are


Beware, our world is so unfair, it's so unfair
Hypocrasy breeding
Show me your face now, show how repulsive you really are


You live in a fairy tale
Encircled by fake friends
Your life is an invention
I feel sorry for you


Rust, your body rust, your money rust


You live in a fairy tale
Encircled by fake friends




Your life is an invention
I just feel sorry for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Breeding Hypocrisy" by Rusty Project are a scathing criticism of the prevalent culture of superficiality and hypocrisy that pervades modern society. The song is an indictment of the way people hide their true selves behind a façade of makeup, clothing, and social status, rather than being true to themselves and their own identities. The opening lines of the song, "You can't show ignorance, cuz you always cover it with makeup" and "You can't show your ugly face cuz you hide it behind that green mask" are particularly biting, and call out the way people try to hide their flaws and weaknesses behind a veneer of perfection.


The song goes on to lambast the idea that people dress to be respected for what they wear, rather than who they are. The lyrics suggest that people have lost sight of what really matters, and are more concerned with their outward appearances than their inner selves. "You show no arrogance, cuz you’re always performing so well," is a line that calls out performers and social elites who are constantly putting on a show for their fans and followers, rather than being their true selves.


The chorus of the song is a warning against the dangers of hypocrisy, and the way it breeds in our society. "Beware, our world is so unfair, it's so unfair. Hypocrisy breeding. Show me your face now, show how repulsive you really are," are lines that drive home the point that people need to be more honest with themselves and each other, and not hide behind a false façade.


Overall, "Breeding Hypocrisy" is a powerful statement about the need to be true to oneself, and not hide behind a façade of perfection. The song is a call to action for people to be more honest and authentic, and to reject the shallow values of modern society.
