How are you going to discover anything new when push everyone away

How can you say you love a song when you wouldn't even let it play

Small town gossip spread by fools is nothing but a waste of time

They shouldn't criticize you or me, they just need to learn to think with their own minds

It would be a sad world if we never read about the legends of the past

You can't create a new legend if you treat everyone like an outcast

You only come around when I reach a moment of praise and acclaim

But you never did speak to me before because I just don't have the right last name

You can stay in your little clique of upper-crust friends

And I'll do my own soul-searching instead of living a life of pretend

It would be a sad world if we didn't read about the legends of the past

You can't create a new legend if you treat everyone like an outcast

Don't get lost with those who get crossed in social groups that become so entwined

Just walk away and one day it's yourself that you may find

It would be a sad world if we didn't read about the legends of the past

You can't create a new legend if you treat everyone like an outcast
