an icon on the wall decoration and
 duress
 that which many strive to be
 its the merble statue standing over me
 and nobody has the will to tear it down
 it determines wrong and right
 but to me its just a stereotype
 and it makes us lose our sight
 the portait of authority
 you tell me
 that's what im supposed to be
 (it embodies what he cannot be)
 another time another man
 and oppressive intrusion
 and a plague across his land
 and it haunts him every day
 it tells him he has no chance
 his hopes just fade away
 and he can't muster the support
 and to him it's just a stereotype
 of his life-long fight
