Lyrics
Dm  F   C   Dm    F   C

Dm        F        C      Dm              F       C

I sit and watch the people staring at the sun

They’ve given up on life before the day’s begun

Bb        F              C      Dm

I don’t wanna be that way anymore

I wanna discover just what this life is for

I need to find my way out of this web of life

I’m caught in a mousetrap of misery of strife

Now I’ve got to see the light before my eyes

Crawl out of this cave and pull off my disguise

I’m a product of society that society forgot

And the only thing I want to be is anything you’re not

I don’t know if it’s possible to be original in style

But I gotta take my chances and run the extra mile

[Solo]

I’m a product of society that society forgot

And the only thing I want to be is anything you’re not

I don’t know if it’s possible to be original in style

But I gotta take my chances and run the extra mile
