CONTRAVENE LYRICS

"Insecurity"

So you've paid your dues and stood your ground much longer than most have been around 
You think they all owe you respect and should praise your superior intellect. 
I'm sick of all the token lines, "Stupid kid has no mind" 
"He's only 14 he has no clue" 
"He won't stick around cause he's way too new" 
So you've paid your dues but what for? Sticking around to uphold the score 
Maybe you'll give them a chance to "succeed" 
maybe you'll talk to them and do a "good" deed. 
"She's just here to pick up guys" 
"I saw his parents drop him off tonight" 
"I've never seen them at a show before - I wonder what they came here for?" 
Your arrogance is out of control 
You think you'll decide who can stay and who'll go 
Who can join the club is up to you 
After all you've paid your dues - after all 
But until they too have paid their dues 
until they' re no longer children, and they're no longer new 
until they all agree with your views.... 
Nobody owes you!
