Exit 13 - My Minds Mine! Lyrics

Why should I even bother to acknowledge
The pathetic notions of minds without knowledge?
I have been chastised for acting too freely
But individualism for me is the key, see

Why should I style my pattern of life
After those who bring about hatred and strife?
I would much rather have a mellow existence
Of celebration and productive subsistence

My mind's mine

Individuality, creativity, self-mastery, not for you?
Sensibility, originality, responsibility, not for you?
Stability, free mentalities, global harmony, not for you?

Stupidity, live destructively, self is all you see, is this you?
Pathetic apathy, Christianity, no mentality, is this you?
Spreading misery, no flexibility, lost and lazy, is this you?

So in conclusion, let's ignite a struggle
For total transcendence from this confining muddle
It seems to me simple, just strive for mental freedom
Don't end up like our parents, tranquilized by their stupidity
