I've seen introverts become the center of attention I've seen extroverts go ignored I've heard complacent well-adjusted human beings Cry out for something more And there's a million and one things to do with life So don't you dare be bored Because there are three types of people in this world: Those who do Those who don't And those who didn't, but wish they had At times it's wrong to do what's good Sometimes you've got to be bad So don't you go on second guessing Lest you end up with regret Follow your instincts Don't look back 'Cause there are three kinds of people on this earth: Those in the future Those in the past And those in the present, so make it last At times it happens all so fast You forget to examine the extent of the impact But don't you worry about forgotten things They'll find their way back to you in your dreams And there are those who will tell you that it's false They'll comfort you with broken arms To drag you down to into the swamp Trying to stop you before you even start Now there are three sects of people on this planet: The leeches The dreamers And then the true believers Examine your head to find the truth Don't worry about what you can or cannot prove Nothing matters nearly as much As the way it all matters to you You see, there's no right or wrong way to live a life It all depends on how it makes you feel The miraculous fact that you exist at all Gives you the right to determine what is real And there are but three animals in this pen: The sheep The wolf And the Golden hen
