Lyrics
Does the color of my skin make any difference
and if you could change me now is there a preference
if the world could only see see what's inside of me
and if I could ask one thing, I know it would have to be...
Why do you judge me
Where's your credentials
Why don't you trust me
what makes you so special
If I grow my hair out long does that change who I am
does it make me right or wrong or does it depend on where I am
I can pierce or mark my skin, what would you think of me
there's a person deep within, open your heart and see...but you
chorus/lead guitar solo
If I change the way I look would you accept me now
I suppose you wrote the book on conforming know how
He's normal and she's quite strange, where do you draw the line
If conforming is insane, may be we would all be fine...but you...
