Aim to Please Lyrics

Is that really you or just a mantel of identity
You throw on as soon as someone else is around
Then get undressed tear it down
This wall of expectations to fit into this congregation
Dress codes attitudes
Brought to you by some money hungry corporation
It's all make-believe
A rebellion cut to fit and made acceptable

Is this really us or are we becoming just another product
Formed and confined by the expectations of others
Of who we are and what we should do
But if we only aimed to please you
We would still be playing
The same old songs as yesterday

And if you don't understand what I mean
Well, what can I say?
?Hero of our time? was a funny song back then
But to play it today would be kind of lame
