Individuality Lyrics
They always said that you
would never be anything
Everything you tried to do was
just a waste of time
but you believed you could do
anything you wanted to
you made your mind up
and you never looked behind
Dont let them try to tell you
how to live your life
dont let them hold you back
dont ever change your mind
chorus
Individuality
be proud of what you are
Individuality
dont let them cut you down
you can be whatever you want to be
but dont change your self for society
dont lose your individuality
The years go by and find that
nothing comes easily
and the world is full of people
tryin to take you down
dont ever turn your back on
anythin you'll ever be
you dont need to prove yourself
to anybody else
Dont let them try to tell you
how to live your life
dont let them hold you back
dont ever change your mind
chorus
Individuality
be proud of what you are
Individuality
dont let them cut you down
you can be whatever you want to be
but dont change your self for society
dont lose your individuality
There is no run for second best
no second chance dont fail the test
gotta rise above the rest
gotta try to make your mark
no need to be so vain
no need to act so proud
follow the trends dont ever
stand out from the crowd
do you really care what
other people think about you
does it really matter what they do
or what they say
you fought so hard to let 'em
throw it all back in your face
when their opinion never
mattered anyway
Dont let them try to tell you
how to live your life
dont let them hold you back
dont ever change your mind
chorus
Individuality
be proud of what you are
Individuality
dont let them cut you down
you can be whatever you want to be
but dont change your self for society
dont lose your individuality
dont lose your individuality
dont lose your individuality
would never be anything
Everything you tried to do was
just a waste of time
but you believed you could do
anything you wanted to
you made your mind up
and you never looked behind
how to live your life
dont let them hold you back
dont ever change your mind
Individuality
be proud of what you are
Individuality
dont let them cut you down
you can be whatever you want to be
but dont change your self for society
dont lose your individuality
nothing comes easily
and the world is full of people
tryin to take you down
dont ever turn your back on
anythin you'll ever be
you dont need to prove yourself
to anybody else
how to live your life
dont let them hold you back
dont ever change your mind
Individuality
be proud of what you are
Individuality
dont let them cut you down
you can be whatever you want to be
but dont change your self for society
dont lose your individuality
no second chance dont fail the test
gotta rise above the rest
gotta try to make your mark
no need to be so vain
no need to act so proud
follow the trends dont ever
stand out from the crowd

does it really matter what they do
or what they say

Individuality
dont let them cut you down
you can be whatever you want to be
but dont change your self for society
dont lose your individuality
dont lose your individuality
dont lose your individuality

A great hold your head up high song, it's hard to get hold of songs by this band on the internet unfortunately. This song is a definite for people with low self esteem, brilliant song about individuality although I still say you'll never be individual as long as you wear underwear.
"but dont change your self for society dont lose your individuality."
This song is about not conforming to society and being yourself no matter what people think of you, what you mean to you is what is important. To "Be proud of what you are."
Area 7 has been a very important band to me since around January 06 when i was first introduced to the band. This isn't there best but a great none the less.
If you like ska i urge you to listen to this band, they are a very cheerful band and can often raise your mood if things get down.
the title says it all. be yourself, dont let anyone try to change you and just be an individual. not that hard to figure it out.
I understand, but what is with the lyric:
"follow the trends dont ever stand out from the crowd"
Isn't not following the trends an individual's choice and thus part of individuality?
This song is so amazingly corny... I can't believe I ever liked it. But what's more amazing is that coming back to it, I still ADORE it, now more than ever. It's corny, it's preachy, and it's cliched... but it makes you feel better when you're down, and I know, because it's been stuck in my head for years now and it comes up every time I'm down.
The song itself? It doesn't give a message, it beats you over the head with it. It's cliche, yeah, but still, it's a worthy message because there seem to be way too many people that still need to hear it.
