will I ever be normal in your eyes   can i go a day, just one day   without hearing the criticism of the world   i can't be the picture perfect image   so I guess I'll settle for second best   you push and shove me   and I can only take so much   i've got a lot of patience   but all my patience is spent   when you intentionally try to change me   into something that you see as right      [chorus:]   I can't live up to your standards   so, why do you try and force them on me   I won't comply, and I refuse to agree   to something that takes away my rights   I won't stay, and let you walk all over me      someday.. maybe you'll wake up   and realize what you've done   you can only walk in line for so long   until you see the faults   in where you belong   not everyone has to be a follower   and I refuse to follow blindly
