Hypocrisy

Verse 1] Everybody righteous till the rule comes back Halo on straight while the screws come slack Tell me how to speak, how to think, how to act Then say some wild shit and apparently that's facts Nah, fuck that, I've had my fill Whole room nodding 'cause they're scared to be real Life-story song, everybody stand still Clap at the end like you've paid their bill Want adoration every time that you vent Sympathy tax on whatever gets said Tell me I'm wrong before I've finished the sentence Then preach acceptance with selective acceptance That's funny, innit? Funny how that works Your feelings need care, mine come with terms High horse polished, saddle all clean Till somebody checks what the fuck you actually mean [Hook] Hypocrisy that's all I see Rules for you, different rules for me Preach “be kind,” then pick your enemy Same old shit dressed differently Hypocrisy don't lecture me Halo don't come with authority You want respect? That's reciprocity Anything else? Hypocrisy [Verse 2] Call one song sexist 'cause you don't like bloke Same bar elsewhere and apparently it's jokes Judge got favourites, verdict got picked Crime comes later when you've chosen who's guilty Don't piss down my back, call that progressive Then get defensive when somebody questions White people this, white people that Imagine roles reversed would you let that pass? Course you wouldn't, that's exactly my point Can't build equality with a thumb on the coin Can't scream prejudice then generalise And expect everybody else to just close their eyes I'm not doing auditions for morally pure I've met too many saints with shit at their door Everybody tolerant right up until Somebody says something they don't wanna hear [Hook] Hypocrisy that's all I see Rules for you, different rules for me Preach “be kind,” then pick your enemy Same old shit dressed differently Hypocrisy don't lecture me Halo don't come with authority You want respect? That's reciprocity Anything else? Hypocrisy [Verse 3] And JP fuck JP and the sermon as well Got commandments ready every time he tells Me what I'm allowed to call him nah, not me Said “they” ain't right when “they” is neutral to me You can tell me your preference, I'll hear what you said You don't get remote control installed in my head Lie hat, tank top, whatever you choose Doesn't mean I've gotta inherit your views That's the bit that gets lost in the noise Freedom ain't freedom if it's only your choice You can live how you want, I can think how I think Neither needs permission, that's the missing fucking link Don't demand understanding while giving out none Don't scream “acceptance” then decide who gets some Don't call me hateful 'cause I won't play along While you're judging whole people then writing a song I'm sick of the theatre, sick of the act Sick of opinions getting dressed up as fact Sick of the halo, the pedestal shit Sick of “be yourself” with approved fucking scripts You want equality? Cool make it equal Same fucking standards for all fucking people Not your little circle, not people you rate Same measuring stick for the ones that you hate [Final Hook] Hypocrisy now say it with me Rules for you, different rules for me Preach “be kind,” pick your enemy Then act surprised when I disagree Hypocrisy don't lecture me I don't kneel to your morality Want my respect? Bring reciprocity Otherwise fuck your hypocrisy. [Outro] Don't ask me to celebrate you. Don't ask me to hate you. Just don't hand me a rule you don't follow yourself. That's it.
