square goin' no-where

Verse #1:

I'm not a punk, how can I be?

Show me the way to conformity

Try to be different but it's always the same

End up playin' someone else's game

Verse #2:

You used to walk by my side

Now you see me comin' now you hide

I see you here I see you there

I can see that you don't care
