I say I’m different, I say I’m new

I tell myself I’m not like you.

But really, I know I’ve lied all along

Ha, I’m still just flowing with the throng.

I say I’m different, I say I don’t judge.

On my record, my lie becomes another smudge.

Because really, I’m still bound tight

In the net of stereotype; I try to fight,

But it’s no use, it’s got too firm a hold

It’s much too late; I’m caught in the mold.

I say I’m different, I say I’m knew,

But the fact remains, I’m just like you.
