lyrics

The suns coming up
I didn’t get no rest
The city’s getting ready
To put me to the test
The gloves are coming off but I ain’t distressed
Cuz I, I am the contrary.
The billboard’s lookin down at the bums at the stop
We’re breeding monsters and victims and it starts at the top
Like a house of cards, I wanna watch it drop
Cuz I, I am the contrary

And I’m not the only one.

You pledge allegiance to American dreams
And leave em sitting on the shelf, now they’re busting at the seams
But nothing ever fits like a pair of new jeans
Guess what, I am the contrary
When the going gets tough, don’t you look away
To no consumer lust at the end of the day
Cuz you can buy all you want, but this won’t go away
And I, I am the contrary.

I’m not the only one.

Do you remember when the city lay like a stage before us?
We kept our voices really low and waited for the chorus
And there was nothing but the faith in our hearts that assured us
That maybe we could make it out okay
Well time went on and you changed your name
But there’s one thing that still stayed the same
I kept me faith, I’m not afraid
Cuz I know who I am

And I’m not the only one
