I Just Wanted to be Normal

I just wanted to be normal
I didn't want to be a freak
I wanted to fit in
Don't be so meek
Take it on the chin
React the way they want you to
Don't freak out
Don't be blue
Know what it's all about
Don't talk to much
Don't be too quiet
Don't eat your lunch
Go on a diet
Do what the other girls do
Like what the other kids like
Don't mess up, there's no undo
Learn how to read the social ques
Tell them what they want to hear
Know what to suppress
Live and learn to impress
Learn the way of sarcasm
And know when it's insults
Control your enthusiasm
Think is the end results
Know when it's a joke
Know when it's an attack
Take crap from no bloke
Know how to serve payback
I want to be accepted
I want to fit in
I can't be rejected
I need to be within
What am I sacrificing
What deals am I making
What really makes me enticing
What rules am I breaking
Is it really worth it
I don't have thick skin
I might just quit
Before I'm back in the loony bin
I want to say goodbye
To say I'm sorry
For the last time before I die
