subhumans - labels

Picture of lead singer Dick Lucas (glasses),

I idolized him in my early twenties

I just want to introduce people unfamiliar to this very interesting band.

Lyrics

Labels:

call me punk because I wear a leather jacket
call me a hippy because I believe in love
and peace
call me an idealist because of songs like this one
you can call me what
you like I am all and none of these
chorus: fix a label on me to keepillusions happy
fix a label on me does it make you feel secure?
fix a labelon me to keep me at a distance
and I'll label you as ignorant not wanting to
know more
before we understand ourselves do we have to fight eachother?
Before we share opinions must we keep them undercover?
we classify andcategorize to keep ourselves divided
we are all individuals not the images
provided
chorus
labels are a subtle way of keeping us in line
divided byconformity we waste away our time
we are all individuals divided by their
rituals
think again like I have done--throw away the labels!
chorus

Reality:

Reality isn't easy to defineLike turning water into wineIt's a dream of fact based on fictionEverything you do has it's restrictionsEveryone has their own definitionThe record shops got plastic nutritionCos music is the food of loveBut reality is waiting for a bus[Chorus:]And there's an anarchy sign on the bus stop wallBut it's very hard to relateThe bus work to keep in lineSo who's gonna smash the state?It's too easy to get cynicalAnd make the problem clinicalBut in which direction do you turn?Do you preach or do you burn?Pamphlets blowing in the breezeA mother on her weeping knees"Reality" is on the news at tenBut the bus to work is late again[Chorus]So your reality is getting pissedAvoiding a world that shouldn't existA world within your own sour mindWhere everything can be re-defined"This is wrong""I don't agree""I can't accept the reality"So why base your life on simple trust?Is reality waiting for a bus?
