- Call It What You Want Lyrics / with translationsCall it what you want
Call it what you want
I said just call it what you want
Call it what you want
Yeah, we're locked up in ideas
We like to label everything
Well, I'm just gonna do here what I gotta do here
'Cause I gotta keep myself free
You're ducking and moving
Just to hide your bruises from all your enemies
And I'm in the crossfire dodging bullets
From your expectancies, yeah yeah
We've got nothing to lose
You better run and hide
You crossed the line
I've got a knife behind my back, just sayin'
We've got nothing to prove
Your social guides give you swollen eyes
But what I've got can't
Be bought so you can just
Call it what you want
Call it what you want
I said just call it what you want
Call it what you want
You've taken your words and you take your judgments
And stick them onto everything
If it don't conform to what you were born into
Then you run the other way
You say, "Now what's your style and
Who do you listen to?" Who cares?
Well, that rat race ladder-climbing
Fake-face smile's got nothing on me
We've got nothing to lose
You better run and hide
You crossed the line
I've got a knife behind my back, just sayin'
We've got nothing to prove
Your social guides give you swollen eyes
But what I've got can't
Be bought so you can just
Call it what you want
Call it what you want
I said just call it what you want
Call it what you want
You can call it what you want
What you want
...
Call it what you want
I said just call it what you want
Call it what you want
Yeah, we're locked up in ideas
We like to label everything
Well, I'm just gonna do here what I gotta do here
'Cause I gotta keep myself free
You're ducking and moving
Just to hide your bruises from all your enemies
And I'm in the crossfire dodging bullets
From your expectancies, yeah yeah
We've got nothing to lose
You better run and hide
You crossed the line
I've got a knife behind my back, just sayin'
We've got nothing to prove
Your social guides give you swollen eyes
But what I've got can't
Be bought so you can just
Call it what you want
Call it what you want
I said just call it what you want
Call it what you want
And stick them onto everything
If it don't conform to what you were born into
Then you run the other way
You say, "Now what's your style and
Who do you listen to?" Who cares?
Well, that rat race ladder-climbing
Fake-face smile's got nothing on me
We've got nothing to lose
You better run and hide
You crossed the line
I've got a knife behind my back, just sayin'
We've got nothing to prove
Your social guides give you swollen eyes
But what I've got can't
Be bought so you can just
Call it what you want
Call it what you want
I said just call it what you want
Call it what you want
You can call it what you want
What you want
