Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite

"=" 

My brother in the same skin as me
is telling me how I should be.
But who is he to decide for me?
After all, he's just like me.

My sister says I don't treat her right
and it's enough to make her fight.
And who am I to say she's not right?
So I will join her in her fight.

Our father says that we're all bad
but I think that he's gone mad.
Wasn't he once just as bad?
But he forgot once he went mad.
