<br />
I gotta conform<br />
Can’t stand out too much<br />
Gotta be a round peg<br />
In a round hole.<br />
I gotta be smooth<br />
Not speak my heart<br />
Gotta keep my damn foot<br />
Outta my damn mouth<br />
<br />
I gotta be smart<br />
See what other people do<br />
Gotta watch them to know what’s right<br />
I gotta shut up<br />
And shove all my feelings down<br />
Or maybe I’ve got to give it up<br />
<br />
‘Cause Nobody’s Normal, nobody’s wrong<br />
It has taken my whole life to see<br />
That Nobody’s Normal, nobody’s wrong<br />
So I’ll just be who I want to be<br />
<br />
I gotta construct<br />
My life just like his<br />
Gotta do it one way<br />
Or not at all<br />
I gotta accept<br />
Reality<br />
Gotta keep my damn hands<br />
To my damn self<br />
<br />
Gotta be good<br />
Keep my pen inside the lines<br />
Hold my tongue<br />
Follow the rules<br />
I gotta play safe<br />
Think what others think of me<br />
Or maybe I’ve got to let it go<br />
<br />
‘Cause Nobody’s Normal, nobody’s wrong<br />
It has taken my whole life to see<br />
That Nobody’s Normal, nobody’s wrong<br />
So I’ll just be who I want to be<br />
