Normal

Normal
Tell me what you think is (normal)
Is there more than one way to be (normal)?
If I do what you say, am I (normal?)

I'm just a normal guy in a normal world
I live a normal life, I got a normal girl
I drive to normal places in my normal car
I even wish upon the normal stars

But people say it isn't normal if I wanna pierce my nose
Or if I let a blind man design my clothes
Or if I pick the petals, leave the thorns upon my rose
Or if I just wanna paint my toes

People say it's not (normal)
Tell me what you think is (normal)
Is there more than one way to be (normal)?
I really think I'm okay, and that's normal

My mama say it isn't normal if I wanna sleep all day
If I don't get a normal job, I'll throw my life away
She says I should go to school to get my B.A
But me, I wanna be a DJ

My friends say it isn't normal if I don't wanna touch that stuff
But I don't need to follow no one, I'm already cool enough
You say I gotta be name brand, but I'm gonna call your bluff
And if you don't like it, that's tough

People say it's not (normal)
Tell me what you think is (normal)
Is there more than one way to be (normal)?
I really think I'm okay, and that's normal
Normal

Once upon a time there was a man who had a wife
A couple kids, a cat, a dog, he thought he had a perfect life
That's not for me
Because I wanna be

I wanna be a painter, and I want to be an actor
And a sculptor, or a clown, maybe I want to drive a tractor
Why can't you see that's normal to me?
To me, that's normal (normal, normal, normal, normal)

So what if I don't like the food you eat?
So what if you don't like to dance to my beat?
So what if you're expensive and you think I'm cheap?
So what, does that make me incomplete?
So what if I don't want to comb my hair?
So what, judging me, that's really unfair
So what, I only listen to the man up there?
And I bet you he would think I'm normal

I am my own man, so I do what I will
Every individual has his own skill
We all set goals that we want to fulfill
Whether a butcher, a baker, a computer maker
It's your life, so do what you want to do
You got one life to live, you don't have two
To yourself, to yourself, you gotta be true
And that's gonna make you normal

I wanna be normal
Tell me what you think is (normal)
Is there more than one way to be (normal)?
I really think I'm okay, and that's normal
Normal

Don't wanna do what you say (normal)
I wanna do what I do (normal)
And that's normal (normal, normal)

Don't have to do what you say (normal) that's normal (normal)
Don't have to do what you say (normal)
I wanna do what I do everybody's normal (normal, normal)
I'm normal (normal), that's normal, that's normal
