Everyday I play the game
It keeps me somewhat sane
An attitude adjustment
A fliter for my fucking brain
I try my best to stay that way
But it's hard for long

Why must I comply
And change my life
To be so called right
What makes your way right

Normal people don't act that way
Who wants to be normal anyway?
Normal people don't act that way
Who wants to be normal anyway?

Everyday it's all the same
We buy and sell the pain
Societies addictions
Injected into every vein
I try my best to stay away
But it's hard for long

Why must I comply
And change my life
To be so called right
What makes your way right

Who wants to be normal anyway?
Who wants to be normal anyway?

We're all on display
Animals in a cage
We're all on display
Animals in a rage

We're all on display
Animals in a cage
We're all on display
Animals in a rage

Normal people don't act that way
Who wants to be normal anyway?
Normal people don't act that way
Who wants to be normal anyway?
Normal people don't act that way
Who wants to be normal anyway?
Normal people don't act that way
Who wants to be normal anyway?

    It's about conformity and how if "normal" means to be something you are not, there's no point to being normal.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
