Freak Flag

[Verse 1]
We're taught to be like them
Taught to know our place
We've kept the pace
But we're done pretending
A fault line through
Their fairytale endings

[Pre-Chorus]
They've tried to sell us on
Convenience and conformity
Those aren't the measures
Of the man that I wanna be
Rise up if you agree

[Chorus]
And let your freak flags fly
We're all messed up inside
And forced to act like everything's all right
Wave those freak flags high
Rejected till we die
To hell with tomorrow
Just let your freak flags fly tonight

[Verse 2]
We're taught to fall in line
Taught to know the rules
We've played the fools
And we're over the laughter
They can keep their vapid
Happily-ever-afters

[Pre-Chorus]
They can't sell us on
Convenience and conformity
Those aren't the properties
Of people that we wanna be
Rise up if you agree

[Chorus]
And let your freak flags fly
We're all messed up inside
And forced to act like everything's all right
Wave those freak flags high
Rejected till we die
To hell with tomorrow
Just let your freak flags fly tonight

[Bridge]
Made from a different mold
Stuck in a different skin
We will never back down
We will never fit in
A different breed
Stuck in a different skin
We will never back down
We will never fit in

[Chorus]
So let your freak flags fly
We're all messed up inside
And forced to act like everything's all right
Wave those freak flags high
Rejected till we die
To hell with tomorrow
Let your freak flags fly
We're all messed up inside
And forced to act like everything's all right
Wave those freak flags high
Rejected till we die
To hell with tomorrow
Just let your freak flags fly tonight
