Never counted on strikin gold so fast
Never wanted to make up my mind
Didn't think it would change the past
Didn't think there was anymore to find
Thinkin hard only gives me a migraine
Makes me lose the peace that I once had
No use worryin bout what I can't change
Life is hard but it really ain't that bad

I never felt at ease before
And now that I'm here with you
I'm feelin fine and that's just fine

Call me crazy or call me eccentric as I continue to do my own thing
Social standards, they only make me sick
Feel the poison of conformity's sting
Never ran with the flow of the current
Never felt that it really was my way
Soon I realized there's more than one current
You can flow but you never have to stay

I never felt a need to be anyone other than myself
And I think that is all just fine

I'm happy with myself
I don't wanna feel like that I am your personality gauge to be compared
Wanna smash it against the fuckin wall
What's important to you, well I don't care
Don't take me with you when you do fall
Irony in the commonest places
You're exactly what you're sayin you're not
Better check to see which of your faces you're showin when showing what you've got

never performed live
