Before anyone gets all freaked out, this song is NOT about me and NOT ABOUT MY FAMILY. My parents are very supportive and not controlling like the ones in this story of mine; this was based and inspired by people I have known and been acquainted with in my life.
lyrics
[Verse]
Just fall in line
To this town's design
'Cause here in this suburban town
Is where you belong
Just grin and play along
Cause your life is here for good
Fall down in time, understood
[Chorus]
Just cut you hair
And forget you
Those aren't your friends
Just mortal tools
Son, don't you wanna be popular
Like your father?
Don't you want to make us proud?
[Verse]
You'll play for the team
'Till your fingers bleed
Because I love you, so
Fitting in is what you'll know
You'll drone to the beat
This cycle shall repeat
Through generations
Still, my son, my life you shall fulfill
[Last Chorus]
Listen, please, to what I say
I swear upon this as I lay
I'll be who I am
I'll be okay
I love you father,
Mother, too
Please understand that I'm not you
Don't worry about me
I'm okay
