<br>

Well, you took a few grey lines from somebody else <br>And rearranged and kept them for yourself <br>You think had the right to claim it as your own <br>So, call yourself an outlaw <br>With the spurs in your step, and the pistol in your hand <br>Tell the sheriff in town that you're above the law <br>(You're above them all) <br> <br>But to bend the rules of one world <br>Is to follow the rules of another <br>And that's where colors will fade from your charade <br>Cause the winds, they blew in from the east <br>And stripped you bare to your insecurities <br>Now everyone sees you for what you are <br> <br>And these cowboys will ride out in the desert sun <br>Off to prove their worth to everyone <br>Losing sight of what's important through the dust in their eyes <br>All the while they never realized they were living a lie <br>Yeah, it took so long to realize you were living a lie <br> <br>When you conform to nonconformity <br>Unique becomes a fashion statement <br>You walk into the realm of the very thing you were trying to escape <br>"This town ain't big enough for the two of us" <br>Everyone's putting up charades, one trend at a time <br>Really, you're unique... just like everyone else. <br> <br>And like cowboys we rode out in the desert sun <br>Off to prove our worth to everyone <br>Losing sight of what's important through the dust in our eyes <br>All the while we never realized <br>We were living a lie<br>
