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    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    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    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    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
