Everybody tells you what to do
Every moment you’re not alone
Because there is so much you’re
supposed to be
Though nobody ever asked me
They say you’ve got to
Stay inside the lines
Do what everyone think is right
Because all your thoughts are laid out
for you
Do what society says
Until you’re dead
Stay inside the lines
Expectations seem to spring
Spring from everything
Everything you say or do
Everything your parents expect of you
Everything they wanted to be, but
could not live up to
Stay inside the lines
Do what everyone think is right
Because all your thoughts are laid out
for you
Do what society says
Until you’re dead
Stay inside the lines
Haunted by somebody else’s dream
About how you should behave
And the decision isn’t up to you
Because you’re supposed to do
What society tells you to
It not about how you define yourself
Because you have no say
It’s about who everyone want you to be
Stay inside the lines
Do what everyone think is right
Because all your thoughts are laid out
for you
Do what society says
Until you’re dead
Stay inside the lines
