Uniforms Lyrics

I try so hard to be different

To a new bright allegiance I'm sworn

But it seems in our need to be different

We all wear the same uniforms

This ones saying I fit in

This one is saying I don't

This ones saying you know that I will

And this ones demanding I won't

This ones saying I'm mighty

This one says I don't care

But when you're carefully playing at not fitting in

With that anarchic rebellious stare

We try so hard to stand out

Whilst maintaining the need to fit in

It's a game just a game don't you know it's a game

A game that nobody wins

Some uniforms are better than others

Oh Annalise in your paprika dress

A sartorial elegance and a Dickensian gentility

With such a fiery prowess

This one says I'm a player

Clever and oh so precise

Should I care to digress and shall confess

That clothing is my greatest vice

Put em on put em on put em on

What is it you're trying to say

Manicured and polite so politically right

To neutral colours I sway hey hey hey

It's just another still from a movie

Just another page from a book

What worked for you then

Don't work for you now

You're ashamed and you say you won't look

Put em on put em on put 'em on

What is it you're trying to say

Manicured and polite so politically right

To unimagined colours I stray hey hey hey hey
