When your convictions become fiction
Then you have your own addiction
To the creation of friction
And your asinine depiction
Of your own morality, containing discrepancy
When your holier than thou approach destroys all chance of unity
We’re left with an empty whole
Divide our scene and we’ve got no soul
If we start to fight at no more than just a word
Then there is something wrong and we’re following the herd
Falling on your face again
That’s what happens when you fight your brothers
You see the track to the wrongs to the right
Its time to recognize that we’re standing side by side
There’s no room to criticize
Our feet are on the ground
and the obstacles abound
We can swim or drown
You might think that you’re out of step
I just think that you want the rep
The reputation that comes with your chosen state of mind
If you looked outside you might just find
That life is full of wonder when you join your brothers
Dull the edge for it cuts right through
Dull the edge or it cuts back into you
