    Can't Wear White After Labor Day

    Can't Wear White After Labor Day

    Too much, too little, can't get it right
    that's the way we feel most our lives
    We're too tall, not tall enough
    not big enough, too big for some

    Who made these rules to define cool
    We're sellin' out to these fools
    Tell me why, we try and try
    To please the world-don't know why
    You are you and I am I
    We can be ourselves- don't have to try

    Hottest styles- like you're on trial
    to the discard pile- this tales too wild
    Remember when clothes were clothes
    We'd put them on- head out the door

    Don't wear white after labor day
    that's what they say- give me a break
    Brown and Black- better back up Jack
    Don't pair em up-you'll catch some flack

    Who made these rules to define cool
    We're sellin' out to these fools
    Tell me why, we try and try
    To please the world-don't know why
    You are you and I am I
    We can be ourselves- don't have to try

    Accessorise, winterise,
    customise- you'll take the prize
    super-sized, energized
    no comprimise-forget the why's

    Wear your jeans witha sports coat
    No need to gloat- just glide and float
    Three piece suit, sissy style or brute
    all thug like or just be cute


    Everybody has the freedom of self
    All these rules can put yo soul up on a shelf
    Won't judge you if you won't judge me
    Stupid rules bring a silly misery

    Just like dolls- we try to fit their mold
    do as we're told- dare not be bold
    Well, I am done- I'll individualize
    Cuz I realize- I'm my own prize

    Who made these rules to define cool
    We're sellin' out to these fools
    Tell me why, we try and try
    To please the world-don't know why
    You are you and I am I
    We can be ourselves- don't have to try
