(Not really, but this song’s been my personal anthem\/cattleprod, so y’all get to see it.)<\/p>\n

I am not
\na pattern to be followed.
\nThe pill that I’m on
\nis a tough one to swallow.<\/p>\n

I’m not a criminal
\nnot a role model.
\nNot a born leader
\nI’m a tough act to follow.<\/p>\n

I am not
\nthe fortune and the fame.
\nNor the same person telling you
\nto forfeit the game.<\/p>\n

I came in the ring
\nlike a dog on a chain.
\nAnd I found out the underbelly’s
\nsicker than it seems.<\/p>\n

And it seems ugly.
\nBut it can get worse.
\n‘Cause even a blueprint
\nis a gift and a curse.<\/p>\n

‘Cause once you got a theory
\nof how the thing works
\nEverybody wants the next thing
\nto be just like the first.<\/p>\n

And I’m not a robot.
\nI’m not a monkey.
\nI will not dance
\neven if the beat’s funky.<\/p>\n

Opposite of lazy
\nfar from a punk
\nYa’ll ought to stop talking
\nstart trying to catch up, motherfucker.<\/p>\n
