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
