Dress Code Blues

[Verse]
They count fingers like rulers of fate
Long arms don’t decide what makes me great
Fabric police
They’re watching close
But freedom’s the thing I value most

[Prechorus]
It’s not about respect
It’s control
They’re stitching rules to sew a hole

[Chorus]
Dress code blues
Yeah
I refuse
Who decides what we can choose
Piercings shine
But they want 'em gone
Why should I fit where I don’t belong

[Verse 2]
Tank tops judged by an arm’s reach
They preach rules but what do they teach
Girls get the spotlight
Boys get a pass
Fairness fading like a shadowed glass

[Bridge]
What’s the harm in a studded ear
Or a shirt that makes me feel clear
Rules that choke don’t make us strong
We’ve been right where they’ve been wrong

[Chorus]
Dress code blues
Yeah
I refuse
Who decides what we can choose
Piercings shine
But they want 'em gone
Why should I fit where I don’t belong
