Can't Understand

Silos of countless countercultures built to withstand
 The potential corruption posed by the Media Man
 In spite of their protection, a detrimental infection runs within these walls
 And distorts the perception
 Of the brilliant minds inclined to define a fine line
 That separates the mainstream from them
 Open the mind, otherwise bury your head in the sand
 And hold on tightly to the fear of what you can't understand
 Take a listen to your frequencies
 Overrun with static now, but they don't need to be
 Come one, come all, no need to sell your soul
 For punk, funk, ska, jazz, hip hop, hardcore, and rock 'n' roll
 No predetermination
 Don't underestimate the power of the human condition
 Just let go of the fear of what you can't understand
 Subterranean tones bleeding up through the basement
 You think you're from the underworld, but the guy next to you ain't shit
 Flee the nest of your subset's societal unrest
 Whether or not you're throwing the right hook or the hard left
 This is not a charity, it's a calling for clarity
 So we can bury the crown with the sounds of the clown pharisees
 The ones who try to put a stamp on your forehead
 And if they do, we don't give a damn what the ink says
 No predetermination
 Don't underestimate the power of the human condition
 Just let go of the fear of what you don't understand
 Shred the two-tone suits, pull the hood off,
 Wash the "X" out with a beer and take a light to the mohawk
 'Cause everybody's bent on what it means to be punk,
 Hip hop, ska, hard, we're all the same at the core
 We're not just crossing the boundaries
 No, we're bridging the gaps
 To the others who want to take a wider look at the map
 So meet me where the sidewalk begins
 And be a part of this collective means to an end
 Just let go of the fear of what you don't understand
