[Verse 1]
We'll talk for hours 'bout the state the world's in
So please excuse me for the way I frown
I have no friends and I don't like evenings
'They' have the nerve to say that I'm the clown

[Verse 2] 
Don't tell me lies and say they like me really 
And don't you tell me if you think I'm wrong
And if you're going places with the others
Then there's no point taking me along

[Verse 3]
I used to worry 'bout my social interests
And rack my brains to think who I could phone
But now I realise it was wasted effort
I know I'm better now I'm on my own.

[Chorus]
I'm Going
Over and over (I'd quite like this to change)
All my chosen goals again
I've been putting this together 
Since... I don't know when

I'm Going...
Over and over 
(Why's every day the same?)

I'm Going...
Over and over 
My chosen roles again

I'm Going...
Over and over
My chosen goals again

I'm slowly going insane
Watching my life go down the drain
Is it really worth this pain?
(My loss, Your gain)

So now you know for sure...
I think you know the score
This ain't what I'm adoring...
(Perhaps I'm rather boring)

'Cos this same old boring lifestyle
bores me half to death!

[Bridge]
So just for the record...
I'd rather be 
A loner than a socialite
A nerd than a philistine
An intellectual than a fool
A straightforward kind of guy 
One of the quiet ones
Who plays by the rules...
When they make sense to me

[Verse]
Not sure about my peer group
They drive too fast
And they drink too much (for comfort)
To be one of the club
You need to spend your time (and your money)
In the local pub

[Epilogue]
I'd rather be crazy than lazy
I need something to interest me
But this isn't really me / It's not what it's cracked up to be
Is this  the way it's all supposed to be?
It doesn't float my boat
In fact it bores me to distraction
It's boring and repetitive
They're a curious faction!

And honestly
Between you and me
And I can't see the attraction

of peer pressure, and group think
I'd rather be a man of leisure!

I just want to live my own kind of life
Over and over!
Are you receiving me?
Over!
