Lyrics
Society expects each person to conform
to be ashamed of who you are and live the lie
The media creats its fashions and the norm
you know it sucks but like a lemming you confomr
so be yourslfe, be true
to yourself be true!
chorus
to yourself be true
to yourself be true oh yeah!
be yourself be true!
to yourself be true oh yeah!
they sell you rebellion thats just conformity
their angst is petty hate from insecurity
if youre a 'sheep' then don't complain, you were fleeced!
just have the guts to have your dream and make it real!
coda
so be yourself , be true
to yourself be true.
chorus
to yourself be true
to yourself be true, oh yeah!
be yourself be true!
to yourslef be true, oh yeah!
Middle8
They rewrite history because its incorrect
from current standards that change one day to the next
they will manipulate indoctrinate and steer
trick you into thinking it was all your own idea!
(solo)
so to yourself be true,
Yeah be yourself be tru!
CHORUS
To yourslef be true
to yourself be true, oh yeah!
be yourself be true
to yourselfr be true, oh yeah
oh yeah!
