Call The Names
Verse 1
You're not considered to be beautiful
Even when you dress up and go to town
Men don't stare at you
They don't talk to you
On your way home, you feel like a fool
Wondering why you bother to get their attention
You're different than most
That's why you're unique
But you view yourself as being ugly
As being undesirable and pathetic
It's difficult to change your way of thinking
When the opinions of others are valued
More than your own
Verse 2
You're the most despised, you're the most feared
You still don't understand the reasons why
Everyone stares at you
Everyone talks about you
Being the centre of attention makes you feel uncomfortable
Like you're under a microscope
Being analyzed, always criticized
As a result, you view yourself as inferior
Somewhat defective, in need of reconstruction
To assemble a better version of you
It's difficult to have confidence
When the opinions of others are valued
More than your own
Verse 3
We're on opposite sides of a spectrum
Battling each other for sanity and survival
Thus destroying ourselves as bitter rivals
Seemingly incapable of changing ourselves
Through understanding and compassion
We're always losing as others are benefiting
From our disconnectedness
We're not who we were meant to be
Chorus
Let's the call the names
They're always with us
In our hearts, in our minds
We're surrounded by thieves, liars and traitors
We're in between the truth and a lie
When our inventions have failed us
And we're in the remains of the darkest of times
We won't surrender, we won't waste away
We'll get together and call the names
