Normal Is Overrated

VERSE 1

If creativity is considered crazy

Normalcy is considered lazy

If rock and roll makes me evil

Then fuck the holiest of people

If awkwardness makes me a pariah

Your social mask makes you a liar

If being me is a sin and a curse

Being you is ten times worse

CHORUS

Normal is overrated

Life is fucking wasted

Individuals sacrificed

For the capitalist price

VERSE 2

If normalcy will get me a job

I’ll lie on the couch like a slob

If mediocrity will get me paid

I’d rather sleep in the grave

If ordinary is the way to live

Two weeks notice I shall give

If average is the new future

I’d rather be a lowlife loser

CHORUS

Normal is overrated

Life is fucking wasted

Individuals sacrificed

For the capitalist price

BRIDGE

I’m too good for you

And your money too

You’ll never change me

You’ll just enrage me

VERSE 3

If you don’t believe in me

Set my crazy ass forever free

If you want to leave my side

The coffin is where you hide

If you want to cancel my career

I’ll give you something to fear

I’ll do whatever the hell I want

If normal is right, I want to be wrong

CHORUS

Normal is overrated

Life is fucking wasted

Individuals sacrificed

For the capitalist price

Because of You

Whether or not you believe it to be true

This world is different because of you

Every word you say, every dollar you spend

Every action you take, every position you defend

Every friend you make, every heart you take

Every enemy you kill, all the blood you spill

What seems like nothing on the surface

Could feel to others overwhelmingly urgent

A lifelong lesson or an honorable mention

A permanent heaven or a hellish weapon

For every action, there’s a consequence

No in-betweens, no riding on the fence

Do you want to be a force of positive change?

Or a constant source of negative pain?

No matter what decision you ultimately make

Have no regrets unless you want to break

This world is different because of you

Either tear it apart or become its glue

Cookie Cutter Cutie Pies

VERSE 1

If you’ve seen one of them, you’ve seen them all

Each and every one of them are Barbie dolls

Packed in tight at the crowded shopping malls

Skipping and prancing down the fucking halls

The walking dead have got some fucked up heads

Doing anything to get someone in their bed

The supermodel body with the perfect measurements

The supermodel ego with the perfect evidence

CHORUS

Cut, copy, past, repeat!

Cookie cutter cutie pies! Cookie cutter cutie pies!

Mental vegetable and social meat!

Cookie cutter cutie pies! Cookie cutter cutie pies!

VERSE 2

Making love isn’t the same without passion

Conforming to shallow values and fashion

I might as well date a giant lump of clay

Or a burning effigy made of paper mache

Black credit card or just working hard?

Sugar baby princess or god among insects?

One way or another, we meet our fates together

Will you stay standing after the storm we weather?

CHORUS

Cut, copy, past, repeat!

Cookie cutter cutie pies! Cookie cutter cutie pies!

Mental vegetable and social meat!

Cookie cutter cutie pies! Cookie cutter cutie pies!

BRIDGE

Legacy of ecstasy

Schism of hedonism

No matter what you call it, it doesn’t change the fact

You’re a follower of sheep, not the leader of the pack

EXTENDED CHORUS

Cut, copy, past, repeat!

Cookie cutter cutie pies! Cookie cutter cutie pies!

Mental vegetable and social meat!

Cookie cutter cutie pies! Cookie cutter cutie pies!

When the ship comes in, you’re ready to cheat!

Cookie cutter cutie pies! Cookie cutter cutie pies!

Stepping on backs with your nine inch heel feet!

Cookie cutter cutie pies! Cookie cutter cutie pies!

Cookie! Cutter! Cutie! Pies!

It’s all just bullshit and lies!
