From the recordings To the Girl and To the Girl
Why Be Normal challenges us to “squash the judge to claim a bigger life.” We could all have more fun if we “stop thinking we’re the only one who’s quirky.”
Lyrics
Why be normal when you can have more fun?
Stop thinking you’re the only one who’s quirky
Everyone has their way to find, their axe to grind, their hills to climb
Why be normal when you can have more fun?
Why be normal? You can sing when you want
No need to blend, you were born to run
Step to the plate, seize your fate, ride the waves and keep the faith
So why be normal? You can sing where you want
Why be normal when you can be more free?
Press that shift key to gutsy, carefree
Live your own jubilee, scrap those queen bees, we have no guarantees
So why be normal when you can be more free?
Why be normal when you can shine a light?
Squash the judge to claim a bigger life
You could lead an uproar, a downpour, an encore, the front door, the dance floor
Again I underscore: why be normal when you can shine a light?
Why be normal when you can have more fun?
Stop thinking you’re the only one who’s quirky and different
Everyone has their way to find, their axe to grind, their hills to climb
Why be normal when you can have more fun?
Why be normal when you can have more fun?
