Individual Tattoos

the problem with me and you
is that our tattoos 
look like their tattoos
and their tattoos do
look like ours too
which keeps us all a bit confused

we were individuals when we started this
rebel rousers, outskirt kids
making a statement with how we lived
now the statement is
look at this
we now look like all the other kids

cause his tattoo and her tattoo
look like mine and your tattoo 
i might just get my tattoo removed
and go back to before i knew
you don't need a tattoo
to be an individual too

Exactly Mike, like my Dad used to say, "if everyone jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge would you too?" Too many sheeple in the world! Baaaaah!:)
