I don't need you, authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I wanna be the minority
One nation under "dog," there of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd; unsung, against the mold
Without a doubt, singled-out, the only way I know!
I don't need you, authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I wanna be the minority
Marching out of time, to my own beat now
The only way I know
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For cryin' out loud," she screams unto me
A free-for-all, fuck 'em all, "you are your own sight"
I don't need you, authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I wanna be the minority
Hey!
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For cryin' out loud," she screams unto me
A free-for-all, fuck 'em all, "you are your own sight"
I don't need you, authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I wanna be the minority
(I wanna be) the minority
(I wanna be) the minority
(I wanna be) the minority
(I wanna be) the minority
this makes me want to go up to my parents and say FUCK YOU and just leave this fucking place forever.
I don't see the relationship to Jimmy Eat World's The Middle, but okay...
Anyway, this is a great song... it's about doing what you wanna do, following your own heart, and not giving a damn what anyone else thinks. Best lines of the song, to me, are "One light, one mind, flashing in the dark / Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts" That's just a really cool image... everyone else blinded by the evils of society, and one person awakening to individuality. Gotta love that. :-)
Dont go along with the group because everyone is, do what you think is the right think to do!
well thats about the worst review ever written but HEY!!!, i am right!
I want to be the minority. Its a really empowering song. I don't want to be everyone else....I want to be me. So screw you guys. It really makes me feel good to hear this song....prolly cuz I live in a rich town and on top of that most people suck anyways.
A rebel's anthem, this is. I dig it.
its a true punk song classic, god its telling the truth so perfectly. It's saying "be yourslef", which a lot of people need to do.
i think the line that makes this song so good is 'A free-for-all, fuck 'em all, "you are your own sight"'.it just makes me want 2 say fuck u 2 everyone.quality
this is the song that always makes me feel better, no matter what. I love green day so much. They just have their own way, and dont take shit from anybody. I admire them deeply for that kind of attitude. I just wish i could tell that to their face.
it has kind of the same message of jimmy eat world's "in the middle".....dont be like the rest!! ^.~
That is a great song!!
That is a great song!!
Does anyone else notice how reminiscent the lo-fi guitar intro is to Weezer's "My Name is Jonas?"
