Ordinary

Why do I have to be ordinary
Much more fun I think to be strange
I’d much rather be a pioneer
Than have a desk job repeating
The same crap every day
Reporting in to the same boss
Doing a routine that bores me
For the rest of my life
The problem is
Everybody wants what I want
So it becomes the case
That attempting something new
Is the most ordinary
And strange only lasts a week
Until the people come along
That think you are cool
And they decide to mimic you
Leaving you as a one hit wonder
Someone that started a fad
That washes away like an ocean tide
Takes away the sand
No matter how magnificent
And how complicated
You build the sandcastle
It is forever doomed to fall
And never be heard of again
