Unique And Special (Just Like Everybody Else)

11/26/06 - Inspired by an offhand comment made at open mic one night.

---

I want to stand out in a crowd just like everybody else
I want to play my music loud just like everybody else
And I want to be a rebel just like everybody else
Want to be unique and special just like everybody else

I want to capture your attention just like everybody else
I have a need for self-expression just like everybody else

But every generation the voices of rebellion
Are soon appropriated by the folk who do the sellin’
A format on the radio a look sold off the rack
Featured in commercials for the latest Cadillac

And I want to be a rebel just like everybody else
Want to be unique and special just like everybody else
