Hiding Behind

(Lyrics Greenway : Music Harris, Mick)

Search for purity leads to insecurity
Individuality an incapability
Trapped within outside theories
Ideals adopted, agreeable on basis
Yet to question aspects a cardinal sin
Should self expression mean social loss of face
Labelled unaware because you beg to differ
Hiding behind a shroud of belief
Staunchly involved, highly confused
Confidence in your firmly lodged thoughts
Yet take a back seat while others speak for you
Should every single thinking moment
be saturated with political stance
Striving for perfection
Fear of group rejection
Better to be at mental ease
Than harbouring thoughts not mutually agreed
The spoken mind and reasons why
