We're not that different

We're not that different I guess some things are meant to be broken You see, this isn't quite the perfect environment They give you a series of rules, And if you don't follow, You're not good enough, You're way too slow But what they don't know What we all do, is the same old, Routine that they do 'S just that we don't follow The same rules that they do But every step we take is greater than the last, Keep counting, Clock's ticking, We're better than who we were in the past It seems like Everybody's missing the point we're tryin' to say here You're no better than the old man, sitting beside a trash can Don't you know, we're of the same kind Different faces, but we're not blind To see we're not that different We're not that different We're not that different ~~ "When we start to classify/define things, more often than not, we compromise its greatness.
