Trendy In black

Incorporated Culture,
Subversive rebellion,
Consistent mutter,
Of Youthful Frustration.
Feel Insignificant,
Treated as dormant,
Branded delinquents,
Long to be absent.
Theft of ideas,
Manufactured as new,
You wear these clothes,
Statements untrue.
Violated History,
Exposed psychology,
Distorted Mentality,
You're just a clone.

Chorus
Unique identity,
They're the same as me,
Desire to be different,
Scared to Stand out.
Unique identity,
They're the same as me,
Desire to be different,
Scared to Stand out.
Teenage rebellion,
With a price tag to match.
Juvenile repression,
Manipulated for cash.
Alternative mainstream,
Capitalist day dream,
Underground fashion,
Trendy in black.

Adolescent intervention,
Driven Away,
Parental Affliction,
Yearning to stray.
Hidden Intelligence,
Kept at a distance,
Burning Vengeance,
Feelings persistent.
Transgressional Period,
From child to adult,
Unknowingly Exploited,
Commercial result.
Lonesome Addiction,
Personal confliction,
Easing the tension,
In their money making scheme.

Chorus
Unique identity,
They're the same as me,
Desire to be different,
Scared to Stand out.
Unique identity,
They're the same as me,
Desire to be different,
Scared to Stand out.
Social withdrawal,
Hiding their fears.
Seeking acceptance,
From narrow minded peers,
Radically normal,
Eternally wasteful,
Unconsciously grateful,
Trendy in black.

Outro
Teenage rebellion,
With a price tag to match.
Juvenile repression,
Manipulated for cash.
Alternative mainstream,
Capitalist day dream,
Underground fashion,
Trendy in black.
