lyrics

I tried fitting in
I played in the band
I’d watch the conductor
I’d follow his hands
I marched to the drum
I joined the parade
You had to keep in step
But somewhere I strayed

I tried fitting in
I went to the school
I wanted to learn
I just wasn’t fooled
I already knew
What I‘d have to forget
If I wanted to earn
A certificate

I tried fitting in
It was no use
At the front of the train
I’d put the caboose
I’d have the cart
Pulling the horse
And in my heart
I felt no remorse

I tried fitting in
I toed the line
I bit my tongue
Slackened my spine
I was a miserable wretch
The hole was square
I goofed around
They threw me out of there

**I tried fitting in
I couldn’t keep pace
I was a man out of time
I was a man out of place
Once the world was mine
Now it’s under corporate control
I’m just looking for the heart
I’m just looking for the soul

I tried fitting in
I gave it a shot
Tried to be someone else
Who I knew I was not
Like a foot in a glove
Or a hand in a shoe
Was too tight a squeeze
It was turning me blue

I’d go to bed
At a reasonable hour
By the crack of dawn
I’d have eaten and showered
Be getting on a bus
And then getting on a tram
I tried fitting in
But that’s not who I am

**chorus
