You were never meant to be A great big part of history None before and no-one yet to come So take your place in the human race Different doesn't mean disgrace It's just a definition of freedom
Don't let movie stars, with their flashy cars And presidents, for fifty cents Think they can decide how we live and die Got history, we got identity So don't tell us what to say and do Get out of the way - we don't need you!
It ain't about the clothes you wear Or about the colour of your hair All the people come and gone Since time began, there's not been one ....
Like you!
chorus
You were always meant to be A great big part of history None before, and no one yet to come So take your place in the human race Different doesn't mean disgrace It's just a definition of freedom
