Napalm Death - Hiding Behind lyrics

Search for purity

Leads to insecurity

Individuality

An incapability

Trapped within outside theories

Ideals adopted,

Agreeable on basis

Yet to question

Aspects a cardinal sin

Should self expression

Mean social loss of face

Labelled unaware

Because you beg to differ

Hiding behind

A shroud of belief

Staunchly involved,

Highly confused

Confidence in your firmly

Lodged thoughts

Yet take a back seat

While others speak for you

Should every single

Thinking moment

Be saturated

With political stance

Striving for perfection

Fear of group rejection

Better to be at mental ease

Than harbouring

Thoughts not mutually agreed

The spoken mind

And reasons why

Dictation by others

Be denied without fail
