Weight on your shoulders is heavy,
You've been suppressing these urges far to long.
You're sick of acting the right way:
It's wrong for you but it's right for them.
These urges inside you grow and grow till one day it happens,
You explode, pretending that you belong,
Why the fuck do you have that mask on?
Same thing all over again, this time in a different way.
Your life's controlled by other's rules,
Forget it man, be yourself, bent's ok. no way.
Fuck straight-edge, get bent

    Yah, so true man... I dont know why they are so against something so good.

    Straightedge isnt a set of rules, its a way of life and by chosing that way of life, you arent conforming. Your conforming by doing what is expected of you which is to drink and abuse yourself.

    I think the reason why propagandhi is so against straight edge is because they are drinkers and are afraid to stop. Their views on straightedge are warped. By saying "its ok to be bent" they are saying "its ok to drown your troubles away and forget whats real, and its ok to abuse yourself and poison youself"

    nothing against propagandhi tho, cuz they are a great band and like alex said this is the only issue where we dont see eye to eye.
