 Struggling with Normal? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Nineteen-ninety-four
I felt so insecure
Growing in my hometown like a cancer
Something so unsure
Was knocking at my door
Eleven years old then and it was time to answer

I found my escape
In that Green Day tape
When the songs would end we'd just rewind them
Kids with purple hair
Were out there somewhere
And I would be goddamned if I didn't find them

Up until that time
I had no peace of mind
I was stuck inside of something I didn't sign up for
So I met this kid with dreads
And I can't forget what he said
When I told him I didn't want to feel strange anymore
(this is what he told me)

You're never gonna be normal
You're never gonna be normal
You're never gonna be normal cause you're a punk

I started going to shows
And taping songs off the radio
Then I figured out the radio was bullshit
Picked up a guitar
And played it with my heart
I got inside my car and I started driving

Twenty years and change
Well this is more than just a phase
I found something that I can believe in
When things are getting tough
And feel like giving up
I remember what my one friend said to me
(this is what he said)

You're never gonna be normal
You're never gonna be normal
You're never gonna be normal cause you're a punk
