they'd always laugh at me
cause i'd dress differently
they'd frown upon my say
cause i don't think their way
i don't mind, my skin's deep
their mean looks' knife can't stick through
i stay kind, though i bleed
there is one thing i won't do ... no!
i won't follow! though i'll be out of line
i won't follow! without i still feel fine
i won't follow! though they might urge me to
i won't follow! there's nothing i need to prove
the pressure they pull me through
so that i'm gonna do
everything they want me to
i'm totally resistant to it
i will not bow down
as long as i live
they may make me drown
i will not give in
