Glamorous Mediocrity

Everyone is doing it

So you feel like an outsider

You want to do something different

Which will help you shine brighter


The glamour is so strong

That it seduces me every day

But I can't be a mediocre

I want to live the life my way


The ones who got mediocre jobs

Are shown as heroes

But I don't want to be one

As numbers in their salary has less zeroes


They don't live for themselves

I have seen dead man walking

I want to stay alive feeling the air

Enjoying every second dancing and rocking


Small victories might look big

As society show it to us

They treat those things like gifts

And make it such a big fuss


Life is for living

I don't want to be a slave

Want to change the world 

Before I walk up to my grave


It still seduces me morning and night

But I try my best to resist

I won't let it win and kill me from inside

I have important things to do on my list


I respect the medicores

I just don't want to be them

I want to be special through my work

So that my name stays immortal and I become a gem
