what if we were all the same: same rules

same game

and we weren't allowed to change anything about anything

that anybody's ever done before

wouldn't that be boring?

always spinning on a ride

all walking on a line

that they drew a long time ago

and you know that you don't have to go where they go

you can go write your own story

hey

you gotta be

who you oughta be

so who do you wanna be?

oh-oh-oh-oh

you can choose

if you're bad

if you're good

if you're left or right

speaking your heart or speaking your mind

you can be what they say

you can be a cliche

you can tear up the box

and throw it away

everybody gotta be themselves

everybody gotta dream out loud

everybody gotta be themselves

square pegs make the world go 'round

there's a lot of open doors

you can go and explore

you can always open more

if you're hitting a wall

dropping the ball

haven't we all

been down that same hallway?

so let 'em talk and whisper

let 'em try to fix ya

repaint your picture

at the end of the day

it fits in your frame

just 'cause you're different don't mean you're crazy

hey

hey

you gotta sing

like nobody's listening

'cause somebody's listening

yeah

oh

you can choose

if you're bad

if you're good

if you're left or right

speaking your heart or speaking your mind

you can be what they say

you can be a cliche

you can tear up the box

and throw it away

everybody gotta be themselves

everybody gotta dream out loud

everybody gotta be themselves

square pegs make the world go 'round

they make the world go 'round

hey

hey

you gotta be

who you oughta be

so who do you wanna be?

whoa

oh

you can choose

if you're bad

if you're good

if you're left or right

speaking your heart or speaking your mind

you can be what they say

you can be a cliche

you can tear up the box

and throw it away

everybody gotta be themselves

everybody gotta dream out loud

everybody gotta be themselves

square pegs make the world go 'round

hey

you gotta be

who you wanna be

so

who do you wanna be?

square pegs make the world go 'round

hey

you gotta be

who you wanna be

so

who do you wanna be?

square pegs make the world go 'round
