Your common misconception, it's getting my rejection.
How far are we allowed to go to reach a state of perfection?

Since when is individuality the norm of our society,
how can anyone believe that I is more important than we?

I feel outraged at the vision of the world that you create.

There's no question why if the revolution is a lie
and if you stand alone you wouldn't dare to try.

When I was sixteen I believed that turning eighteen would be the best thing ever. I somehow got the idea that it meant awesome parties, unlimited freedom, going on vacation with friends.
