No Equalizer Lyrics by Down by Law

punkrockdays: the best of dbl

1997

You want a perfect prefab world
Where the boy always gets the girl
But the world's not really like that
Where knights in armor slay the beast
And every peasant gets a feast
But I don't want a world that's like that

'Cause if the beast has a heart
And the peasant has none
Your equalizer's come undone

Now what's left to do
When every wish always comes true?
And what's great to me won't seem so great to you
There'd be no saints if every heart was overflowing
There'd be nothing to learn if everyone was all-knowing

Well it's a worthy crusade
But I won't cheer the parade
Of the equalizer
'Cause one hundred smiles
Make a frown mean more
There's no equalizer

Off the lines in factory
Cookie cutter mentality
Well the world's already like that
And I'm sorry if you don't agree but that's the point
It takes a bit of piss to put the spice in victory

Well it's a worthy crusade
But I won't join the parade
Of the equalizer
'Cause one hundred smiles
Make a frown mean more
There's no equalizer

You want a perfect prefab world
Where the boy always gets the girl
Well I don't want a world that's like that
And I'm sorry if you don't agree but that's the point
It takes a bit of piss to put the spice in victory

Well it's a worthy crusade
But I won't join the parade
Of the equalizer
'Cause one hundred smiles
Make a frown mean more
There's a hundred reasons why I hate a uniform
