Life is hard if you don't conform But it's not in my genes to be the norm We're taught to follow the status quo What if you're not born to follow the flow A mortgage, a finance, an overdraft we're sold This is what from young we're told A system built to churn out sheep To conditioned and scared to take a leap This is what is so hard I find This is what plagues my mind What do I do if this is not for me If I forget what I'm taught, will I then feel free Maybe someday the answers will appear As life passes you by living in fear But if the answers never rise Maybe I'll learn to see things through different eyes

Conforming
Life is hard if you don't conform But it's not in my genes to be the norm We're taught to follow the status quo What if you're not born to follow the flow A mortgage, a finance, an overdraft we're sold This is what from young we're told A system built to churn out sheep To conditioned and scared to take a leap This is what is so hard I find This is what plagues my mind What do I do if this is not for me If I forget what I'm taught, will I then feel free Maybe someday the answers will appear As life passes you by living in fear But if the answers never rise Maybe I'll learn to see things through different eyes
