Protest!

You see it, but you don’t need it.
You are in denial.
You want to be like others, you want to be
In style.

But you really don’t care, you will never wear it.
but, In your dreams, in your dreams, they are smiling.
With their shoes, and their skirts,
And their belts , and their shirts,
In your dreams, in your dreams, but you’re crying.

What do you dream, do you dream of? Approval, approval.
In your dreams, what’s in your dreams? Approval.

The card is swiped now you wait
In anticipation.
Thinking of tomorrow when you’ll
Hear their confirmation.

It’s the trend, and you know, that soon it will go.
but, In your dreams, in your dreams, they are smiling.
With their shoes, and their skirts,
And their belts, and their shirts,
In your dreams, in your dreams, but you’re still crying.

What do you dream, do you dream of? Approval, approval.
In your dreams, what’s in your dreams? Approval
