Lose the costume

The days of dress-up are gone

Time to join in and put a different outfit on

Maybe thats harsh well lets find a happy medium

Be responsible and you can wear it in the evening

This dude took pride in his cause everyday

Put on his costume which defined who he was

He said he didnt care he liked being unique

Accused the rest of the world of being a bunch of sheep

Lived his life going against the grain

Spent all of his time with those who felt the same

Hit his mid-twenties and still nothings changed

Except his boys who chose to grow with age

Now hes looking for friends with the same behavior

He hangs out on campus with a bunch of teenagers

Hes punk rock hes hip-hop hes everything the system's not

And he likes it that way he likes being on the defense

He likes having something to fight against

He likes calling himself a revolutionist

Im sorry but you have an identity crisis

(chorus)

Lose the costume

The days of dress-up are gone

Time to join in and put a different outfit on

Maybe thats harsh well lets find a happy medium

Be responsible and you can wear it in the evening

And on the weekends when its appropriate

You can make believe for a minute

Stir up some controversy and have fun

But hang-up your angst when play time is done

Ignore the truth and neglect your responsibility

Because you cant decipher the real world from your hobbies

This whole starving artist shtick youve been running with is wearing thin

Put it to an end and grow old gracefully

Time for you to start cooperating cuz rent aint free

And neither is your familys needs

What you want and should expect are two different things

You think the rest of the world likes their suits and ties working nine to five just to get by?

Maybe, I mean if theyve figured out what it truly means to make this life count

But that dont sit well with youre anti-authority

Me against the world sub-genre category that youve placed yourself in

Do you honestly think the average man celebrates the system

But they cooperate

we all know the world sucks, but if all you do is preach about it and not try to change it than your just another part of it

I also think its about someone who screams about hating the system, yet does nothing constructive to change it. Yelling about how bad things are doesn't do much. "It meant nothing at all in a sense. If it did your involvement would mean more than middle fingers and the opportunity to instigate arguments."

if everyone partied all day and night and not work the world not operate properly, no one wants to work but we have to, some people do not cooperate which is pointless.

I think it's about maturity. Even if you hate the system, you still have to cooperate to survive. It's about doing what needs to be done in spite of how wrong the world is.

I think it's talking about the kids of today.
