We`re thought to be like them Thought to know a place We kept the pace but we`re done pretending We`ll fall blindly through the fairy tale endings
They tried to sell us the convenience and conformity Those are the images of the man that I want to be Rise up if you agree
And let your freak flags fly We`re all messed up inside And forced to act like everything`s alright Wave those freak flags high Rejected `til we die To hell with tomorrow Just let your freak flags fly tonight
We`re taught to fall in line Taught to know the rules We`ve played the fools and we`re over the laughter They can`t keep us up in the happily ever afters
They can`t sell us on convenience and conformity Those are the properties of the people that we want to be Rise up if you agree
And let your freak flags fly We`re all messed up inside And forced to act like everything`s alright Wave those freak flags high Rejected `til we die To hell with tomorrow Just let your freak flags fly tonight
We form a different mould Stuck in a different skin We will never back down We will never fit in A different breed Stuck in a different skin We will never back down We will never fit in
So let your freak flags fly We`re all messed up inside And forced to act like everything`s alright Wave those freak flags high Rejected `til we die To hell with tomorrow Let your freak flags fly We`re all messed up inside And forced to act like everything`s alright Wave those freak flags high Rejected `til we die To hell with tomorrow Just let your freak flags fly tonight
