[Intro]

I don't care what you look like

And I don't care what you wear

It's just my obsessive-compulsive nature

To analyze everything that's out there


[Verse 1]

I am biased and self-consciously discriminate

I can't really help it, I'm irritated

And everyone has their problems, but I'm not gonna distinguish

The vegans from the ones that put on camouflage in hunting season

I'm thinking that maybe my opinion isn't always right

But I will try to wipe away the bias before I decide

Whether or not a person is valuable

I can picture myself being overly-skeptical

When I get a first impression, I know it means nothing

What a person's dressed in initiates the judgement

This is a confession, a compulsive-obsession

I am superficial, but it's just a conditioned reflex

It's just a conditioned reflex


[Chorus]

I don't care what you look like

And I don't care what you wear

It's just my obsessive-compulsive nature

To analyze everything out there

I don't care what you look like

And I don't care what you wear

It's just my obsessive-compulsive nature

To analyze everything out there


[Interlude]

It's just a conditioned reflex

I promise


[Verse 2]

A simple common condition and there's a pinch of it in everyone

I'll tough it out, but for now, I'm just gonna look you up and down

But I don't really care 'bout what you wear, it's what you say

If you have a brain I'll be your friend if you can stand me for a day

I'll stereotype you, you can judge me back

My pants sag and my shorts go past my kneecap

But appearance is everything, what you wanna look stupid for?

That's why some schools make you wear a uniform

I'm against it, my compulsive-obsession

You say, maybe one of these days he will learn his lesson

I'm against it, and I'll try to judge you less, but I'm superficial

It's just a conditioned reflex

It's just a conditioned reflex

Don't blame me, it's just a conditioned reflex

It's just a conditioned reflex
