It's all about identity, Construction of a family Of difference and simile, What I give you and you give me. It's all about identity, This tribal sense of dignity, Of tolerance and unity, Of prejudice and bigotry. It's all about identity A web of who we'd like to be, Let's cut and paste our memory: A dark and timeless industry. It's all about identity A strength and solidarity, A dazed, confused desire to find A place and time in history. It's all about identity Or how the sheer majority Impose a predetermined badge And wait to judge you silently. It's all about identity, A retrospective odyssey, But where I live and who I meet Are stronger in defining me.
