lyrics

Hey you, just standing there by yourself,
Hey you, can't you be like everyone else?
Hey you, just think about all your health,
Hey you, just standing there by yourself

Such a shame that you cannot be the same
Who's to blame that you might be going insane?
Working out of who you really are
Don't freak out, you've made it out this far

Hey girl, can't you work it out for yourself?
Hey boy, can't you see she needs some help?
Hey girl, don't you wanna get up and dance?
Hey boy, can't you believe in romance?

Such a shame that you cannot be the same
Who's to blame that you might be going insane?
Working out of who you really are
Don't freak out, you've made it out this far

Based on old pictures, you can't be so reckless
Based on the TV, you can't act so freely
Based on the news shows, you see how far hate goes
Based on the old scars, you see who the fakes are

Conversations in the mirror
We're mixing coffee and cigarettes
Sensations become clearer
Let's see how far it gets

New things to go and find, new things to go and hide
Let's go out and explore
No, let's stay right here where we don't have to fear
I don't want it anymore!

Such a shame that you cannot be the same
Who's to blame that you might be going insane?
Working out of who you really are
Don't freak out, you've made it out this far

Oh it's hard - but man it's a start
Oh it's hard - but man it's a start
