Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been waiting for so long
To come here now and sing this song
Oh, don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear, whoa
[Verse 2]
This is a song to all of my friends
They take the challenge to their heart
Challenging preconceived ideas
Saying goodbye to long standing fears
[Verse 3]
Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 4]
Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 5]
I don't wanna be hip and cool
I don't wanna play by the rules
Not under the thumb of the cynical few
Or laden down by the doom crew
[Verse 6]
Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 7]
Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 8]
I've been waiting for so long
To come here now and sing this song
Oh, don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear
[Verse 9]
This is a song to all of my friends
They take the challenge to their heart
Challenging preconceived ideas
Saying goodbye to long standing fears
[Verse 10]
Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains
Ooh-ooh-ooh
