I've been waiting for so long
  To come here now and sing this song
  Don?t be fooled by what you see
  Don?t be fooled by what you hear
  
  This is a song to all of my friends
  They take the challenge to their hearts
  Challenging preconceived ideas
  Saying goodbye to long standing fears
  
  Don?t crack up, Bend your brain, See both sides,
  Throw off your mental chains
  
  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
  
  Don?t crack up, Bend your brain, See both sides,
  Throw off your mental chains
  
  
  Don?t crack up, Bend your brain, See both sides,
  Throw off your mental chains
  
  I?ve been waiting for so long
  To come here now and sing this song
  Don?t be fooled by what you see
  Don?t be fooled by what you hear
  
  This is a song to all of my friends
  They take the challenge to their hearts
  Challenging preconceived ideas
  Saying goodbye to long standing fears
  
  Don?t crack up, Bend your brain, See both sides,
  Throw off your mental chains
