lyrics

A million hopeless souls
speaking their hopeless minds.
I gave up years ago.
I don’t wanna turn into a bitter wreck,
but I think I’m on a good way to get there.

Don’t let them tell you how to feel and how to act,
who to love and who to be.
No one could ever say.
I don’t think they’ll ever change.
Narrow minds have a tradition.
I wish i could learn not to listen.

They’ll never learn.
They’ll never know.
I’m not gonna grow used to them.

Trust me, it’s all they can do.
There’s no hope, it’s what they settle for.
Dull lives in a mad mad world.
I don’t belong.
I hope it shows.

Don’t let them tell you how to feel and how to act,
who to love and who to be.
No one could ever say.
I don’t think they’ll ever change.
Narrow minds have a tradition.
I wish i could learn not to listen.

They choose to be part of the problem,
and I’m getting tired with complaining.
We'll never fit their views
and I couldn't care less.
I hope it shows.
