Freak Flag

We're taught to be like them

Taught to know a place

We kept the pace but we're done pretending

A fault line through their fairytale endings

They've tried to sell us on convenience and conformity

Those aren't the measures of the man that I want to be

Rise up if you agree

And let your freak flags fly

We're all messed up inside

And forced to act like everything's alright

Wave those freak flags high

Rejected 'til we die

To hell with tomorrow

Just let your freak flags fly tonight

We're taught to fall in line

Taught to know the rules

We've played the fools and we're over the laughter

They can keep their vapid happily ever-afters

They can't sell us on convenience and conformity

Those aren't the properties of people that we want to be

Rise up if you agree

And let your freak flags fly

We're all messed up inside

And forced to act like everything's alright

Wave those freak flags high

Rejected 'til we die

To hell with tomorrow

Just let your freak flags fly tonight

Made from a different mold

Stuck in a different skin

We will never back down

We will never fit in

A different breed

Stuck in a different skin

We will never back down

We will never fit in

So let your freak flags fly

We're all messed up inside

And forced to act like everything's alright

Wave those freak flags high

Rejected 'til we die

To hell with tomorrow

Let your freak flags fly

We're all messed up inside

And forced to act like everything's alright

Wave those freak flags high

Rejected 'til we die

To hell with tomorrow

Just let your freak flags fly tonight
