lyrics

Different opinion
On a different side
But same mentality
Same narrow mind

You speak but you never listen
You proclaim you’re true but I see no difference
(From those you despise)

View everything as black and white
So quick to judge and generalize
Perpetuating more homogenized thought
This isn’t better it’s a facade

You’re still closed minded and blind
But you’re so convinced that you’re right
It doesn’t matter the words you say
It’s the actions that you take
It's not your beliefs or your label
The difference is in how you treat other people


Explanation
Words and labels do not define who you really are. You are defined by your actions. Just because you listen to bands or read articles that speak out against sexism, racism, classism, or LGBTQ phobias, that you are absolved from committing oppressive and toxic behavior. A serious question to ask is, are you as accountable to your actions as you expect others to be for theirs? Our mainstream culture is filled with oppressive and degrading qualities. These are often infused into counter culture. As punks, we try to learn and grow pass these mistakes but many of these behaviors have been ingrained in us from birth. If we are not willing to be reflective in our actions and look outside of our own experiences, we will suffer blindness and carry on the toxic cycles that we said we were against. Openness to criticism and self reflection is crucial to growth. Listen to those outside of yourself and experiences. Challenge these behaviors inside yourself and push to be better.
