title


they say the one who is the prettiest gets the boys

they say the one who is rich gets the yacht and fame

they say the one who is ugly gets nothing

in the end it is nothing but a title

in the end we are all equal

in the cold hard ground

equal

that is a title i  would like 

the only title i would like

they say that prom queen is the one that gets the football player

they say that the one who is the smartest is a geek WHAT?

they say that the one who smokes the most dope is a stoner

in the end it is nothing but a title

in the end we all are equal

in the cold hard ground

equal

that is a title i would like 

that is the only title i would like 

that is a title that no one will hate you for

that is a title that is all yours

that is a title that i live for 

that is a title i will one day acheive

side by side

shoulder to shoulder

cheek to cheek 

with you 

that is the title 

equal 

we all get that title when we go 

why not let it show now

equal 

that is the title i wish to hear

that is the title i wish to be labeled with 

that is the title i wish to be given 

equal
