Dropping our sloppy preconceptions is not easy to do
Being the exception plays to Individualism's rules
The tools and rules our minds exploit to carve out human consciousness
are evolving like our species and contain a few useless remnants
Like the 'tailbone' of competition that causes a basal kind of pain
That old jealousy that preserved the apes makes us revert to them again
Nothing's the same yet life's cyclical; our children wear our worn out genes
And dropping preconceived jeans in public is much harder than it seems.
