Anyone can see the writing on the wall
but whose got the guts to pick up a spray can?
Don't lose heart; never let the dream die:
these are empty sentiments, but what do they hide?
The coming of an age
Tell me, who will refuse to recognise a new class system?
They don't look for color - they attack they way I live
Almost respectable - the way they hate
Prioritize fears, classify peers
Fashion is insecurity - what does it hide?
Money buys fashion, fashion's what you see
We don't want to judge, but how off are we?
Complacency of convenience?
I must be blind to the difference.
Don't talk to strangers, but how strange are they?
The ties that bind are now only for the secure.
There's the path of the many and the few, separated
by wealth and choice
what does it hide?
The coming of a new age!
