Conformity
This directed at people who want me to change.

I wanna pack up and go outta here
sometimes, I do just wanna get up and leave.
People down here don't people with personalities like mine.
They don't understand that I'm not gonna conform
I'm not gonna become "normal"
because once you do that,
you will not suffice in the real world.
Being normal is stupid, it's death.
I don't think it wise to tell people to change their laugh
or their taste in music, or books, or movies.
if you don't like what I'm doin,
then you can leave me alone.
I don't tell you to change.
I know that later on down the line,
I know you'll be the ones who say:
"Dang, man, I wish I didn't hang out the people
who were 'normal' I wish
I was my own person."
But when you're on your own,
and when you've made your decisions,
you're gonna realize that
what you've done was stupid,
that to try to make yourself or others
conform to be normal or cool,
you're just being naive, stupid,
and immature.

So if you're one who
wants me to change something
about me, my laugh, my music,
my opinions, my beliefs, my life,
you can go screw yourself,
you can get out of here,
'cause I won't have you kinda people
in my life, you need to keep to yourself.
But don't say we're friends,
if you want me to change,
dont say we're friends
if you put me on this rage,
why dont you stand in my shoes,
and see how it feels to
be on my shoes
and how much of a drag it is to see you.
