Be Yourself
June 9, 2012
Be yourself
Yet don’t be too weird
Please, don’t do anything too crazy
Uh, we’d prefer if you wouldn’t do that either
No! You can’t lead
You just aren’t the right type
(Too different)
Just step in line
Don’t question we’re right
Don’t try and think for yourself!
You could get the wrong idea
Don’t go against the flow
Stay with the rest
If you don’t believe just pretend
I don’t care if you think it’s wrong
Just be like everyone else
Sticking out isn’t good
Don’t be too smart
Or too dumb
Don’t be too quiet
Or too talkative
But remember be yourself
