Verse 1
IF I WERE BLACK AND YOU WERE RED
THEIR HEARTS WOULD TURN TO STONE IN DREAD
THEY’D FIND A PORT INSIDE THEIR STORM
CAUSE WE DON’T FIT INTO THE NORM

Verse 2
IF I WERE YOUNG AND YOU WERE OLD
THEY COULD NOT SQUEEZE US INTO THEIR MOLD
THEY HAVE NOT FOUND US. THEY’RE NOT EVEN WARM
WE JUST DON’T FIT INTO THE NORM

Chorus
SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE WE’RE SUPPOSED TO PLEASE
WANTS US DOWN ON OUR KNEES SAYIN’ SORRY
WISH THEY’D ALL RELAX AND TRY TO BREATHE
CAUSE WE’RE JUST ONE MORE SWEET LOVE STORY

Verse 3
IF I SOUND ANGRY WELL GUESS I AM
AT ALL THOSE SAINTS WHO THINK THEY SHOULD GIVE A DAMN
WE DON’T CONCERN OURSELVES WITH STYLE OR FORM
WE JUST DON’T FIT INTO THE NORM

Lead Break (on verse)

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Verse 3
