Pressure

it will always be us and them.
they will never be accepted.
they will never be initiated.
they will never be us.

they're different.
and that can't be changed.
and I'm glad.
we don't want them.

I don't care how nice,
how decent,
how honest,
how noble these people are.

I don't like other people.
they're freaks.
imbeciles.
different.

but, because of you,
I made the exception.
and I put up with them.
not for long, mind you.

they get on my nerves.
why can't they be normal?
do they have to be so ridiculously incompetent?
we saw you first, we own you.

our cliques will stay the same.
and we will not mingle.
and you will not move.
because it is always us and them.

our lives will never change.
and we will not question.
and you will be content.
because it is always us and them.

our lies will not falter.
and we will forget their names.
and you will stay loyal.
because it is always us and them.
