Radical

Breakin’ the law so I can enjoy my liberties denied,
a radical in this stagnant, pharmaceutical, spoon-fed look-a-like contest

What do you do in your spare time? I’m asked,
     and I laugh
They point and jeer, but they cannot see what I see – sometimes, 
     when you combine, you lose 
your identity

So stand alone, where you can see the web,
     the spider
Weaving stories only you can tell,
     only you can sing
Wanna hear the break-down?
     Then, break it 
down
