What's Wrong With Who You Are? Lyrics

I used to know this kid who lived right up the block from me
He had a happy home, no problems with his family
But then one day he started hanging out with the new scene
And everyone thought he was cool cause he's melancholy

He pierced his lobes and wore girls clothes so we'll all know what he's about
You won't see him hanging out with the other kids in town cause he's way too sad now
And if you call him on the phone, he'll tell you to leave him alone, he's crying to that emo - leave him alone

I used to know this girl who lived right up the block from me
She used to be my friend until we turned 15
She changed her clothes her look and even her personality
Trying to be something she just wasn't meant to be

She pierced her nose and wore jncos so we'll all know what she's about
And if you'd seen the change she made, you'd swear that she had gone insane
Rockin' out to Mudvayne - she's gone insane

They broke the rules just to be cool
They look like fools, what's that about? They don't know it's not about how cool you look when you go out
Just be yourself and be proud of who you are
