  • Call it what you want
    I said just call it what you want
    Call it what you want

    Yeah we're locked up in ideas
    We like to label everything
    Well I'm just gonna do here what I gotta do here
    'Cause I gotta keep myself free
    You're ducking and moving just to hide your bruising from all your enemies
    And I'm in the crossfire dodging bullets from you expectancies

    We've got nothing to lose
    You better run and hide
    Yeah you've crossed the line
    I've got a knife behind my back (just sayin')
    We've got nothing to prove
    Your social guides give you swollen eyes
    But what I've got can't be bought so you can just

    Call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want
    Yeah yeah I said just call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want

    You've taken your words and you take your judgments
    And stick them onto everything
    If it don't conform to what you were born into,
    Then you run the other way
    You say, "now what's your style and who do you listen to?" who cares?
    Well that rat race ladder-climbing fake-face smile's got nothing on me

    We've got nothing to lose
    You better run and hide
    Yeah you've crossed the line
    I've got a knife behind my back (just sayin')
    We've got nothing to prove
    Your social guides give you swollen eyes
    But what I've got can't be bought so you can just

    Call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want
    Yeah yeah I said just call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want

    Call it what you want
    Call it what you want
    Call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want
    Yeah yeah I said just call it what you want, yeah yeah call it what you want Writer/s: MARK FOSTER, PAUL EPWORTH
