Need To Be

You make an effort to fit in and follow disorder, 
be who they want and never broader, 
all of you always together go forward, 
you learn to listen and let thoughts go missing, 
just see what they see and be who they be, 
you'll have people with people in blind unity, 
no one's haunted unwanted in singularity, 
effort forever yet clever because we betters me, 
you tool you tool you tool in a tool box but free, 
you don't think you're desperate, a success you see, 
people are your need and all on a lead, 
you finally fit in, they approve, you are not weak, 
you now have people, an army of freaks, 
they back up your thoughts when yours don't seek, 
attention on you on them all are unique, 
who's leading who? ALL I SEE ARE SHEEP, 
no wolf, just wool, I don't give a sheets, 

think for yourself, and approve nobody, 
I don't need people , I just need to be me, 
everything they do, I do for me, 
if all want, what all want, 
they don't give or receive, 
you want from people what I get from me
