Last sign of my conformity
I take a final bow
But no one's there to cheer me on
The seats are all empty now
Overcast turns to rain
As society finds the sum
Of my popularity
The inevitable has come
I've had my share of sunny days
When the sun flew way up high
But ignorance was my only friend
The sun my living lie
A new dawn now approaches
Individuality takes the reins
A friend society loses
Truth the world gains
