Cooperate

Lose the costumeDeja el disfraz

The day's of dress-up are goneLos días de jugar a vestirse han terminado

Time to join in and put a different outfit onEs hora de unirte y ponerte un atuendo diferente

Maybe that's harsh well let's find a happy mediumQuizás suene duro, busquemos un feliz término medio

Be responsible and you can wear it in the eveningSé responsable y podrás usarlo por la noche

This dude took pride in his cause everydayEste tipo se enorgullecía de su causa todos los días

Put on his costume which defined who he wasSe ponía su disfraz que definía quién era

He said he didn't care he liked being uniqueDecía que no le importaba, le gustaba ser único

Accused the rest of the world of being a bunch of sheepAcusaba al resto del mundo de ser un montón de ovejas

Lived his life going against the grainVivía su vida yendo en contra de la corriente

Spent all of his time with those who felt the samePasaba todo su tiempo con aquellos que sentían lo mismo

Hit his mid-twenties and still nothing's changedLlegó a sus mediados de veinte y aún nada ha cambiado

Except his boys who chose to grow with ageExcepto sus amigos que optaron por crecer con la edad

Now he's looking for friends with the same behaviorAhora busca amigos con el mismo comportamiento

He hangs out on campus with a bunch of teenagersSale con un grupo de adolescentes en el campus

He's punk rock he's hip-hop he's everything the system's notEs punk rock, es hip-hop, es todo lo que el sistema no es

And he likes it that way he likes being on the defenseY le gusta así, le gusta estar a la defensiva

He likes having something to fight againstLe gusta tener algo contra lo que luchar

He likes calling himself a revolutionistLe gusta llamarse a sí mismo un revolucionario

I'm sorry but you have an identity crisisLo siento, pero tienes una crisis de identidad

(chorus)(coros)

Lose the costumeDeja el disfraz

The day's of dress-up are goneLos días de jugar a vestirse han terminado

Time to join in and put a different outfit onEs hora de unirte y ponerte un atuendo diferente

Maybe that's harsh well let's find a happy mediumQuizás suene duro, busquemos un feliz término medio

Be responsible and you can wear it in the eveningSé responsable y podrás usarlo por la noche

And on the weekends when it's appropriateY los fines de semana cuando sea apropiado

You can make believe for a minutePuedes fingir por un minuto

Stir up some controversy and have funProvocar algo de controversia y divertirte

But hang-up your angst when play time is donePero deja tu angustia cuando termine el juego

Ignore the truth and neglect your responsibilityIgnora la verdad y descuida tu responsabilidad

Because you can't decipher the real world from your hobbiesPorque no puedes distinguir el mundo real de tus pasatiempos

This whole starving artist shtick you've been running with is wearing thinToda esta farsa de artista hambriento con la que has estado jugando se está desgastando

Put it to an end and grow old gracefullyPonle fin y envejece con gracia

Time for you to start cooperating cuz rent ain't freeEs hora de que comiences a cooperar porque el alquiler no es gratis

And neither is your family's needsY las necesidades de tu familia tampoco lo son

What you want and should expect are two different thingsLo que quieres y lo que deberías esperar son dos cosas diferentes

You think the rest of the world likes their suits and ties working nine to five just to get by?¿Crees que al resto del mundo le gusta usar trajes y corbatas trabajando de nueve a cinco solo para sobrevivir?

Maybe, I mean if they've figured out what it truly means to make this life countQuizás, quiero decir, si han descubierto lo que realmente significa hacer que esta vida cuente

But that don't sit well with you're anti-authorityPero eso no encaja bien con tu anti-autoridad

Me against the world sub-genre category that you've placed yourself in¿Yo contra el mundo subgénero en el que te has colocado?

Do you honestly think the average man celebrates the system¿Realmente crees que el hombre promedio celebra el sistema?

But they cooperatePero ellos cooperan
