Verse: 1
The usual morons were fighting outside that place
Inside the posing was rife
I wasn't ready like you to accept them
As peers for the rest of my life
Verse: 2
Poised for a picture that no one was taking
You'd hang on their worlds as a rule
I'd never bought that but still was afraid
To get caught on the wrong side of cool
Chorus:
Time to go sober again
Same old faces and nothing is new
Leaving today I'd no right to go say
That I hate what they're doing to you
Verse: 3
The only one you'd ever wanted to be was yourself
But they had to have more
They told you to change what you thought to combine
With the image that most of them wore
Chorus:
Verse: 4
You said if I stayed I might win their approval
And that would mean so much to you
I'd say I'll be back but for now all I know
Is I need something different to do
