Born a life, 95, gonna work till you die Gonna hurt, gonna learn to take it like a man Find a girl, make a wife Dig a fence, paint it white What if I had another plan? What if I was made for the stage? What if I was made for the lights? What if I was chosen to write the stories? Wasn't built to work the line? Oh, what if I was different? Would I wanna be different? Man, it's cold, crack of dawn Hear that old rooster crow Coffee's on, and it ain't never gonna change Another night, same fight Same girl, same guy What if I wanna break the mundane? What if I was made for the stage? What if I was made for the lights? What if I was chosen to write the stories? Wasn't built to work the line? Oh, what if I was different? Would I wanna be different? Feels like I'm stuck in this rut, trying to spin my way out I can't figure it out, don't know how How I'm supposed to tell mama and daddy without them mad at me But I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down What if I was made for the stage? What if I was made for the lights? What if I was chosen to write the stories? Wasn't built to work the line? Oh, what if I was different? Would I wanna be different? I wanna be different I wanna be different I wanna be different
