Typical and not unique
Doesn't sweep me off my feet
Bland and blended all together
Never caught in stormy weather
Never colored out the lines
Never took me by surprise
Always knew for certain
what was behind the curtain
Mmmm yea,
You're a replica
a duplicate
the same and never different
Never played truth or dare
Turned from signs that said beware
Always play by the book
and never play the evil crook
Always sang on key,
Dependent, always, on me.
Never change your routine
Never been a drama Queen.
So gullible
You're so predictable.
Never grow a backbone
Never spoke on your own
Always shy and quiet
Never start a riot
wish you would fight back
Only if you could react
Only chose black and white,
never pick a rainbow, right?
Mmmm yea,
You're a replica
a duplicate
the same and never different
Never played truth or dare
Turned from signs that said beware
Always play by the book
and never play the evil crook
Always sang on key,
Dependent, always, on me.
Never change your routine
Never been a drama Queen.
So gullible
You're so predictable.
I don't sympathize for your stratagized, paralyzed, liiiife
I don't sympathize for your stratagized, paralyzed, liiiife
Mmmm yea,
You're a replica
a duplicate
the same and never different
Never played truth or dare
Turned from signs that said beware
Always play by the book
and never play the evil crook
Always sang on key,
Dependent, always, on me.
Never change your routine
Never been a drama Queen.
So gullible
You're so predictable.
