Conformity

(words & music Joe Pereira)

Some say you won’t learn
learning ain’t your thing
what they teach is not for you
and never was

All you need to know
is if it sets you free
what will rip away the bonds in life
that keep you in conformity

Up above and down below
going where you wanna go
no more scripting for the show
that you were never meant to go
those who love you failed to see
you were never meant to be
one who follows aimlessly
you were born to be free

Once when you were young
living foolishly
working hard to pay the bills
to society

leaving you no time
for creativity
watching your life pass you by
and wondering if you’ll ever be free

Conformity…
