Sheep

Dye your hair purple

It’s what the cool people are doing

Don’t worry about the price

In the long run you won’t notice your pride going

Wear this shirt, but tear it up first

It’s the latest fashion

Try on these skinny jeans that destroy your heart

You don’t need any passion

Running this race

You aren’t going to win

The more you try

The more they drag you into sin

The price of beauty

Is rising ever higher

Soon you’ll have nothing left

Selling to the highest bidder

Like this band

If you don’t you suck

If you don’t conform

You’re completely out of luck

Love only the beautiful people

‘Cause everyone else hates your guts

But all the beautiful people

They’re all attention-grabbing sluts

Limping along

Trying to fit in

The more you try

The more they drag you into sin

The price of living (this lie)

Is rising ever higher

Soon you’ll have nothing to gain

Selling to the highest bidder

In finding yourself

You lost it all

Now the freaks and geeks

Are the ones watching you fall

You could have learned to love

If you’d learned to be yourself

And not some spoilt princess’ dream

You could have learned to fight

For things that weren’t as they seem

Lying in the dirt

You aren’t going to win

The more you tried

The more they dragged you into sin

The price of happiness

Is too much to think about

Now you have nothing left

Not even the breath to shout
