The Bandwagon – Written Tuesday 17th October 2006 (Aged 31)

The Bandwagon

and the bandwagon starts to roll
this, lazy ill fed ignorance
the one of labels that takes a personal toll
i am tired of being judged
i am tired of definitions about normality
and i care not a thing for your club
too many people take a moral high ground
and pretend they are normal
or that they are better than the rest
but i know,
underneath they drown in a sea of inadequacy
and that their head is a complete mess
so the bandwagon starts to roll
i have had my fill,
of being told who and what i am
i am tired of peoples ill bred manners
too lazy to try and understand
a tool box without the spanners
i see people all around me put down and picked upon
i see people labelled, conditioned and hurt
all they want is someone to hold
i am sure this blind ignorance does not work
and that is why,
the bandwagon starts to roll
and it is us, it is us that has to pay the toll
