- Uniform LyricsWell you want
to be in the gang
and you've got
got to join the team
to be on the team
you must play to win
you play to win
you may not make it home
up the hill, down again
you're the one
every body wears a badge
uniform
soldier boys!
we've got plans for you
a brand new game
we call it "mass control"
when you grow up
it's not so obvious
dirt on your face
holding your broken toys
up the hill, down again
you're the one
everybody wears a badge
uniform
to be in the gang
and you've got
got to join the team
to be on the team
you must play to win
you play to win
you may not make it home
up the hill, down again
you're the one
every body wears a badge
uniform
soldier boys!
a brand new game
we call it "mass control"
when you grow up
it's not so obvious
dirt on your face
holding your broken toys
up the hill, down again
you're the one
everybody wears a badge
uniform

The lyrics of Uniform bring up mainly social commentary, angst, reflection, despair, and empowerment. The song, however, does not only highlight such aspects but also addresses issues like conformity and uniformity, belongingness through pressure, loss of individuality, and manipulation and control. The lyrics reflect themes of conformity, control, and the pressure to fit in, which might be more proper for an older crowd with parental guidance.
