Uniform Lyrics - Good Riddance

To be oppressed in the eyes of the sacred sons 

All the airs and the vacant stares 

Will never make me think that you're better than me 

You know you'll never be better than me 

Seems to me it's all about how we feel inside 

Were in conflict with our natures 

We all struggle with our pride 

Don't try to stop the world from changing 

I know it gets so much sometimes 

You feel like giving up your dreams 

So you turn it outside 

When there's no place left to hide 

[Chorus] 

When it's all said and done 

It's just another uniform 

To brace up the facade of authority 

When it's all said and done 

You're just like every one of us 

So don't pretend to be so much better than me 

You know you'll never be better than me 

Hiding out so scared of who we just might be 

When the pain's too great you've got to isolate 

Or take it all out on me 

Yeah but the badge don't make you better anyway 

And your fleeting sports elation 

Is never going to chase those fears away 

So just remember 

When there's no place left to hide
