Victim of Conformity

I’ve made a promise
To never fall in line
I’ve made a vow
To express only self
Culture says I’m wrong
Religious tycoons agree
But I’ll never again be
A victim of conformity
Safety’s in numbers
If you’re in the center
And for those on the fringes
So many are at your back
It’s a comfort to both
Who may never even meet
But I’ll never again be
A victim of conformity
If you wish to be invisible
This is the Way
Melting into the very crowd
That gives you your identity
You can live your whole life
And never really be seen
But I’ll never again be
A victim of conformity
For those that have stood alone
Trailblazing a better path
Those who have faced a tank
With no more than a briefcase
And those that speak through time
Are the very reason
That I’ll never again be
A victim of conformity.
