Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I don’t wake up wearing plastic smiles Don’t tick boxes, don’t walk the lines They say “behave” like it’s a cure But I don’t wanna be safe and bored Got my socks on wrong, head full of noise Too loud for girls, too soft for boys They shake their heads like I’m insane But I’m the only one having fun again --- [Pre-Chorus] They whisper “get a grip, act your age” But I never liked the script on that page [half-time drop here] --- [CHORUS, BIG, SHOUTABLE] Normal is overrated! I don’t wanna fit your frame Normal is outdated! I like my madness unashamed If being strange is a crime I’ve made it Lock me up and throw away the key Normal is overrated! You can keep it — not for me! --- [Verse 2] Dress me up in a nine-to-five Teach me how to look dead inside Smile politely, bite my tongue Wait my turn till the damage is done They say “act smart, don’t stand out” But I learned nothing blending into the crowd I trip, I shout, I fall, I run At least I know I’m a living one --- [Pre-Chorus 2] They say “grow up, calm it down” But I’d rather be lost than never found --- [CHORUS, even bigger] Normal is overrated! I don’t wanna fit your frame Normal is outdated! I like my madness unashamed If being strange is a crime I’ve made it Lock me up and throw away the key Normal is overrated! You can keep it — not for me! --- [Middle 8 / Breakdown, Madness-style talk-sing] Who decided what’s “normal” anyway? Was it you? Was it them? Was it Monday? If this is sane then I’ll take insane ’Cause I’ve never felt better dancing in the rain [Drop instruments, crowd claps, bass + drums only] --- [FINAL CHORUS, Gang Vocals] Normal is overrated! (HEY!) Say it loud, say it proud Normal is outdated! (HEY!) Stand up, don’t blend into the crowd If being strange is a crime I’ve made it Lock me up, throw away the key Normal is overrated! And it looks good on me!
