Find a way to be myself without the look I like
Jesus wore his hair long because it was in style
But I don’t want to be like Jesus
Is that such a crime?
And look like you? No, I don’t think so
I’ve got something else in mind

I choose not to be so ordinary, man
I choose not to be some ordinary man

Oh, come on you’re better than that
Now make it who you are
Feeling nice and getting excited
Now you feel alive?

I choose not to be so ordinary, man
I choose not to be some ordinary man
I can’t be somebody I don’t understand
So I choose not to be so ordinary, man

I choose not to be so ordinary, man
I choose not to be some ordinary man
If I please everybody I won’t have a friend
So I choose not to be so ordinary, man
