lyrics

I'm taking on a new persona for everyone to see and wonder who I have become

No more late nights, parking lot fights, or moments where you can't hear what I said because I mumble far too often
I will follow my routines and what my peers will ask of me
and every time I don't agree, I will shut my mouth and turn up the TV
From now on, I'll try to be sociable at parties and walk around asking who's heard the newest track by Kanye
and they'll accept me faster than 1, 2, 3
and then I'll get with my best friend's girlfriend just to say I did

but I know it will never last
I'm treading water
A cynic and a pessimist, afraid to say I'm not over this
and only time can tell if I will change but I can tell you now
that I'm gonna' stay the same no matter what

I don't want to be like you, just face it
You're a disgrace and a racist
You can't take my problems seriously and frankly, I can't take it
If there's one thing that I do know: you won't be so cool for long
Soon enough we'll all get sick of you and your sappy, crappy songs

But for now, I'll keep ignoring you and hanging with my friends
Because I know my life isn't bad as it seems
