My Own Drum
Marching to the Rhythm of Individuality
Lyrics
I don't wanna be
I do not want to conform
A one size all fits guy
I don't want to fit into a standard mold
In this dime a dozen life
In this common and unremarkable life
My god I won't go down with
I won't give in without a fight
Without a fight
I'm determined to resist
And I march
I follow my own path
To the beat of my own drum
Not trying to imitate anyone else
I'm not trying to be just like
Not aiming to be a copy of someone
Anyone
I am unique
And I'm most certainly gonna have myself some fun
I will enjoy myself without restrictions
We only get one shot at this until
We only have one chance at life
It's all gone
Until it's all over
I was never the guy,
I never followed the crowd
Who went right with the flow
Didn't conform to societal expectations
Did all the things he's told
Didn't do things just because I was told
My God I wasn't made to
I wasn't made to fit a predetermined pattern
To fit this mold
I resist conforming to societal norms
And I march
I follow my own path
To the beat of my own drum
Whether you're ready or not, I'm coming
Whether you are ready or not
I will have fun on my terms
Here I come
We only have one chance at life
And I'm most certainly gonna have myself some fun
Until it's all over
We only get one shot at this until
Pause for a moment, wait for a minute
It's all gone
Let's take control and reflect
Stop for a second, hold for a minute
Differences run through our veins
Let's pull back on the reigns
It's challenging when you're in it, but push through
These differences are coursing through our veins
It would be a shame if everyone acted the same
It's hard when you're in it, you push to get through it
I follow my own path
It sure would be a shame
Whether you're prepared or not
Imagine if everyone all acted the same
I will enjoy myself without restrictions
And I march
We only have one chance at life
To the beat of my own drum
Until it's all over
And I'm most certainly, gonna have myself some fun
It's not easy, but face the challenges boldly
We only get one shot at this until
Getting involved in difficulties doesn't bother me
It's all gone
You can shape things as you like
I never said it's easy, you've got to roll your big boy sleeves
Be true to yourself, and I'll be true to me
Getting down and dirty never bothered me
I will follow my own path
You can take that cookie cutter and bake them how you please
-Why don't you do you, and I'll do me
-I will march
I will have fun on my terms
To the beat of my own drum
I will follow my own path
I will march
-To the beat of my own drum
