youth in revolt - charlie cashmere lyrics

celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar
celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar
celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar
celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar

we are a culture misidentified
we don’t tell the truth ‘bout how we live our lives
searching for ourselves in the arms of someone else
aiming for heaven, dwelling in our private hells

we speak but you don’t listen
you look but do not see
instead, you just tell me that
there’s something wrong with me
and rather than let me tell you how i feel
you recommend prayer or electro therapy

silence does not mean consent
no more backing down
we are not deviants
but we will be loud and proud

“don’t ask, don’t tell” (ha!)
no more secrecy
there’s no greater agony
than an untold story in me

celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar
celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar
celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar
celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar

outcasts on the outskirts
living in the shadows
vilified, victimized
invisible ghosts

speaking coded language that nobody knows
second guessing everyone, are you a friend or a foe?
betrayed, b-st-rdized, resentment rising up
tired of the injustice, let’s riot!

come on

celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar
celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar
celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar
celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar

vultures on the prowl
searching for fresh meat
and in our small community
fear spreads like disease

vamps and crows feasting on our insecurities
ticks feeding on tragedy like a monolithic leech

sorry we don’t fit the mould
not sausages to be stuffed
tired of being controlled
you won’t eliminate us

what we’re aiming for is visibility
all our lives matter
come on
acknowledge me

from protests to parades
no more playing games
yelling from the mountaintops
“so what? we’re g-y!”

celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar
celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar
celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar
celebrate who you are
‘cause you’re a superstar
