The Copycat Crime

It truly hurts me to say
That the world we're living
Are filled with people
Who only care about fitting in.

So afraid to stand out
We walk around in crowds
No one wants to say
I'm different and i'm proud.

Can anyone really say
That they don't care about opinions
Stand out from a crowd
And not be a minion.

Follow your own dream
March to the beat
Stand up in the chair
Instead of sitting in the seat.

So, only be yourself
Cause you were born original
If copying is a crime
Then most citizens are criminals.
