Adam WarRock - On the Subject of Normal... (intro) lyrics

I'm here to talk about what it means to be "normal" Normality or normalcy Um which "Normal C" is a good name for a rapper "Normal C and I'm here to say I'm A-B normal in a major way" Get it? Abnormal? A-B normal? That's besides the point... Anyway, I have found that in our culture Of comfort that we have that most people's existence Are wrapped up in their relationship to "normal" Air quotes, "normal" and it's either that you aspire To be normal- aspire for that American Dream That you're gonna get that great job and that great house And have great kids with your great husband and or wife Um that you aspire to do those things And everything that you do is wrapped up In acquiring those things and acquiring that position And the opposite one, the one that I tend to identify with And I think those of you who listen to this album Identify with, is not being normal Or being told you're not normal rather Because it's not that I was trying to BE different As much as that I liked the things that I liked And I did the things that I did And it wasn't until I was made AWARE Made acutely aware by those who aspire to be normal That what I was doing was different Than what they decided is the thing to be or the thing to do It wasn't until then that I felt that I was uh Making a statement or something and ever since then I've been very aware of the things around me That I'm being told are and aren't true Very culturally aware heh heh heh To pat myself on the back All I'm saying is, doesn't matter what the f** you are As long as you know it to yourself There's no such thing as authenticity anymore All you can ever do is hope to be honest to yourself About what you're doing in the moment that you're doing it And on top of that be honest with yourself When that sh** changes Enjoy the show!
