I'm not average
I don't care about prom
Or even popularity contests
Having a boyfriend is secondary
And gossiping is casual
I'm not like you because
I know none of this has
Consistency
The football jock will be overweight
The head cheerleader will have 10 illegitimate kids
And the lonely kid in the back of the room - the next Bill Gates
I'm not average
My life doesn't revolve around sex
Or the next hit of pot
Or even parties with hard liquor
So what - I don't fit the standards
Haven't you heard -
You laugh because I'm different
I laugh because you're all the same
Keep trying to be like Britney Spears
Oh, and be sure to lose your virginity before college
God forbid you turn out different.
