about

The quest to find yourself is lifelong for some.
We could indeed do with some help in it rather than making it more difficult with the games we play.

The "mask" has nothing to do with Covid. It is a metaphor. :-)

lyrics

Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town
Hide your face behind a mask and move around

Look at all the people hanging out here tonight
What do you see?
A lot of hidden faces staying out of the light
like you and me.
Everybody's playing by the rules of the game
Why is it so?

A lot of different people but they all look the same.
Everywhere you go.

Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town
Hide your face behind a mask and move around
Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town
Hide your face behind a mask and move around

Just look around
It would be profound
if you could see who people really are

You would be free
If you could see
Just hear my plea
Branch out the tree

Spoken:
Instead of rows and rows of the same flowers
we could have fields upon fields of exploding colors

Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town
Hide your face behind a mask and move around
Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town
Hide your face behind a mask and move around

Imagine if the crowd could start to be who they are
That would be right
Instead of being posers hanging out by the bar
What a delight

People get together let the sun start to shine
Let's stop the rain
Open up the doors to life cause now is the time
to drop the chains

Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town
Hide your face behind a mask and move around
Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town
Hide your face behind a mask and move around

Now here's the pickle:
Even if you're part of a small group of alternates saying everybody else is wrong.
You still need to have the look and accessories to show that you belong


Break

Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town
Hide your face behind a mask and move around
Dressin' up - Get down - Down Town
Hide your face behind a mask and move around
