I decided a long time ago
That Iâm not like everybody else
Iâm not excited following the crowd
And I donât want anything you sell
It swallows your pride
Kills you inside
To join in with society
Theyâll make you a fake
Youâll bend till you break
Its not right so if you get tired of the fuss
Just step off of the bus
Weâll make you one of us
People jump on every single trend
Till the next one trickles down the pipe
God and country, politics and class
Turning you into a prototype
The way of the day
Will wash you away
Erase your personality
Thereâs much more to find
Outside the lines
Thereâs another way to break out of the mold
No longer bought and sold
Now you are one of us
Now that youâve got freedom from the pack
And youâre not a pawn in someoneâs game
You can run tell everyone you know
That its time for all of them to change
Show them the way
Not to obey
Anyone but you and me
Theyâll understand
That weâve got the plan
Just a simple talk can open up their eyes
And strip off their disguise
And give em all a prize
The prize is now theyâre one of us
