lyrics

Fitting in is easy when you be someone you're not
Walk the walk, talk the talk, tell yourself you're hot
Don't speak up or disagree, ride the wave of same
Everyone is phony and it's driving me insane

Smiling happy normal people walking down the street
Smiling happy normal people are all I ever see

What makes up normality, is it acting like a drone?
Showing no emotions except the one's you're told
Our quirks and our flaws make us human and distinct
Suppressing what defines us, we might as well be extinct.

Smiling happy normal people walking down the street
Smiling happy normal people hating everyone they meet
Smiling happy normal people armed with guns and whitewash too
Smiling happy normal people
Coming after you

Sorry if I sound like Holden Caulfield or Thoreau
Whining about nothing, preaching to the average Joe
Do great minds think alike or are they all just full of shit?
Right and wrong are just words define them as you see fit
The dichotomy, the black and white is all you ever see
Group narcissism repeats prejudice to infinity.
