square goin' no-where

Verse #1:

I'm not a punk, how can I be?
Show me the way to conformity
Try to be different but it's always the same
End up playin' someone else's game

Verse #2:

You used to walk by my side
Now you see me comin' now you hide
I see you here I see you there
I can see that you don't care
