We are taught to be honest
We are mentored to be true
But its never just enough
To be 100% "You"
You must be 2% smart
And 10% stupid
You may know the answer
But pretend you never knew it
You must be 5% different
And 20% the same
Learn to follow the crowd
And bear your head in shame
You must be 50% plastic
Of this you have one shot
Some faces are born pleasing
Some faces are simply not
You must be 3% truthful
And 9% full of lies
Of all the nasty people
It is yourself that you despise
That leaves just 1%
!% just to be you
!% percent to read a book
Because its what you like to do
1% to struggle
And to somehow stay afloat
While your friends drown you with liquor
Too help the drugs go down your throat
But they wont stick around too greet
Paramedics in white coats
Or stand the crowd
As the ones that loved you most
