Flawless Tragedy

What if everyone was the same?
No difference was shown
We all had the Same opinions
No individual thoughts of our own
With the same life to undergo

What if everyone had the same actions?
No different styles or behaviors
We all achieved the same goals
And set up for the same failure

That may be your definition of a flawless society
But to someone else, it sounds like a perfect tragedy

A world full of people with no variety,
Tell me, would you finally live happily?

But what if everyone was different?
All the sameness erases
Different thoughts
Different faces
Different people in different places

Everybody had their own style
And was accepted for who you are
You lived your own life the way you want
And nobody looked at you like you were bizarre

To some, that’s closer to a perfect society
To most, that's nowhere near a good variety

If we’re the same
It's said to be a curse
But if we’re different
It's said to be worse

Don't you see that we can never win?
Even if we try and try again
