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, yeah

Always spinning on a ride, all walking on a line
That they drew a long time ago
When you know that you don't have to go where they go
You can go write your own story

Hey, hey, you gotta be
Who you oughta be
So who do you wanna be?
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
