Uniform Lyrics
Run the risk of being accused
You cast your lot with the self-abused
But you were honest, for once
You take ten steps for their every one, oh
You better speed up
Did I mention reverse?
Why get ahead when you can be third worst?
In a uniform
Of all that can hurt in a uniform
Why do yourself when you could do worse?
In a uniform
Of all that can hurt in a uniform
Why do yourself when you could be, yeah, when you could be runnin'... ( la la la la)
Do you like my dress? Oh, it's from '74
Ripped in the arms from the girl before
Like everything I've owned or had
Like a charity gone bad...
Lying to my phone (lying to my phone)
Cheating lines just to be alone
In a uniform
Of all that can hurt in a uniform
Why do yourself when you could do worse?
In a uniform
Of all that can hurt in a uniform
Why do yourself when you could be, yeah when you could be, oh...
Runnin', all the time
Runnin', all the time
You're thinkin' like you're drunk but you're not, you're not
You're just stone-cold blind to what you've got
And you keep takin' all your cues from Iscariot, but you keep runnin'
You're thinkin' like you're drunk but you're not, you're not
You're just stone-cold blind to what you've got
And you keep takin' all your cues from Iscariot, but you keep runnin'...
You cast your lot with the self-abused
But you were honest, for once
You better speed up
Did I mention reverse?
Why get ahead when you can be third worst?
Of all that can hurt in a uniform
Why do yourself when you could do worse?
Of all that can hurt in a uniform
Why do yourself when you could be, yeah, when you could be runnin'... ( la la la la)
Ripped in the arms from the girl before
Like a charity gone bad...
Cheating lines just to be alone
Of all that can hurt in a uniform
Why do yourself when you could do worse?
Of all that can hurt in a uniform
Why do yourself when you could be, yeah when you could be, oh...
Runnin', all the time
You're just stone-cold blind to what you've got
And you keep takin' all your cues from Iscariot, but you keep runnin'
You're just stone-cold blind to what you've got
And you keep takin' all your cues from Iscariot, but you keep runnin'...

Pretty sure the line is "Why get ahead when you can be perverse?"
Hmm. Upon listening to that part over and over, I think you're right. Thanks. I'm changing that now.
Anyone know what "takin' all your cues from Iscariot" means?
It's a reference to Judas Iscariot.
pretty sure it should be "ten steps for their every one"
