We're taught to be like them Taught to know a place We kept the pace but we're done pretending We'll fall blindly through the fairy tale endings They tried to sell us the convenience and conformity Those are the images of the man that I want to be Rise up if you agree And let your freak flags fly We’re all messed up inside And forced to act like everything's alright Wave those freak flags high Rejected 'til we die To hell with tomorrow Just let your freak flags fly tonight 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't keep us up in the happily ever afters They can't sell us on convenience and conformity Those are the properties of the people that we want to be Rise up if you agree And let your freak flags fly We’re all messed up inside And forced to act like everything's alright Wave those freak flags high Rejected 'til we die To hell with tomorrow Just let your freak flags fly tonight We form a different mould 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 So let your freak flags fly We’re all messed up inside And forced to act like everything's alright Wave those freak flags high Rejected 'til we die To hell with tomorrow Let your freak flags fly We’re all messed up inside And forced to act like everything's alright Wave those freak flags high Rejected 'til we die To hell with tomorrow Just let your freak flags fly tonight
