Labels Lyrics

Call me a punk cos I wear a leather jacket
You can call me a hippy cos I believe in love and peace
Call me an idealist because of songs like this one
You can call me what you like I'm all and none of these

Fix a label on me to keep illusions happy
Fix a label on me does it make you feel secure?
Fix a label on me to keep me at distance
And I'll label you as ignorant not wanting to no more

Before we understand ourselves do we have to fight each other?
Before we share opinions must we keep them under cover?
We classify and categorise and keep ourselves divided
We are all individuals not the images provided

Fix a label on me to keep illusions happy
Fix a label on me does it make you feel secure?
Fix a label on me to keep me at distance
And I'll label you as ignorant not wanting to no more

Labels are a subtle way of keeping us in line
Divided by conformity we waste away our time
We are all individuals divided by these rituals
Think again like I have done - throw away the labels!

Fix a label on me to keep illusions happy
Fix a label on me does it make you feel secure?
Fix a label on me to keep me at distance
And I'll label you as ignorant not wanting to no more
