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
