Sitting in your room and you’re reading a mag,
In your mouth there’s a half-smoked fag,
You’re sitting there with all your fancy gear,
You think that there is yaw, nothing to fear.
You’ve always done everything to try and fit in,
You’ve even thrown your nerdy clothes into a bin,
You’ve always tried to be the most popular one,
But why can you not try to be friends with the Son?
But Be Different, don’t be some-one that you’re not,
Be Different, don’t be some-one who can be bought,
Be Different, Try TO BE YOURSELF,
Be different, and GET YOURSLF OFF THE SHELF,
Just Be Different!
Everyone’s telling you that you should live like this,
They’re even telling you the people you must kiss,
But why can you not try and be yourself,
Instead of being the one on the shelf?
Magazines fill your head with all this crappy stuff,
They drive you until you’ve had enough,
They drive you until you wish you were dead,
They drive you until you put a gun to your head!!
But Be Different, don’t be some-one that you’re not,
Be Different, don’t be some-one who can be bought,
Be Different, Try TO BE YOURSELF,
Be different, and GET YOURSLF OFF THE SHELF,
Just Be Different!
Just Be Different.
Be different.
Be different.
Be different.
You be different.
You be different.
You be different too.
You be different.
I’ll be different, we’ll ALL be different. Be different for Jesus.
Be Different, don’t be some-one that you’re not,
Be Different, don’t be some-one who can be bought,
Be Different, Try TO BE YOURSELF,
Be different, and GET YOURSLF OFF THAT SHELF,
Just Be Different!
Be different.
Be different.
Be different.
Be different.
Be different (whispered.)
