84 seconds (philth)

it takes just 84 SECONDS for me to tell you everything about me
but without me it would take you years to learn.
i won't fall into your boxes you can't compare me to someone who
came before me so you ignore me, its easier if i dont exist.
it makes me sick to think of years i wasted trying to learn to
play a role you cast me so you could contrast me, i've had enough
of being compared.
you think you know something about me but thats just not who i
am, you can't deter me, you've never heard me but now it's time
for you to listen.

why does the tv think it knows who i am?
i'm not a demographic i'm not a brand
i don't give a fuck about the latest thing
why do people want to be americans

i know i'm not liked so i let myself be hated
i'll never be the best but i'll never be the worst
i can't find my place cos every movement's overrated
i'd kill my idols but he got there first

i'm bored of our society but i don't know how to fix it
they've mollified and nullified til there's no strength to resist
it
i'm running from the centre cos i'm scared of being homogenized
would i be happier on the outside?

i've got 21 seconds to go and so i'll say

lets drink to not taking their shit and not giving a shit
lets vow not to sell out even if we have to sell up
lets dream of anarchy and apathy
lets learn to become who we are  (and not who we think we are)
