Milestone - Lyrics by Five Iron Frenzy


Lyrics
[
Let's go!]
If I had nickel for
Every single time I've tried to classify the populace around me with aword,
Or a catchy phrase,I could quit my job for good and play Nintendo until my fingures ached.
Am I an idiot, too lazy to think twice?I point the finger, but I can't take my own advise.I put a name on something and ever since,I've made an art of building my counterfeit intelligence.
Seemingly to me,I am strightening a word of cluttered thoughts and debris inside myhead,
But I think instead
I am prejudiced and I give people names to make me feel safe.
Am I an idiot, too lazy to think twice?I point the finger, but I can't take my own advise.I put a name on something and ever since,I've made an art of building my counterfeit intelligence.
How does it feel, what does it take to make me understand?
If I could only walk a mile in the shoes of another man.
If I could look out through his eyes
And know what it means to bleed the same red blood that I do.
What is economic status, and tell me what is race?
Who decides to classify taxonomy of grace?
If one man gets less than another, it is true,
That he is all that different, that he is less than you?
