when i was a younger lad
they said follow me
imgaine all the peace you'll find in conformity
now that im older,

im more self-assured
i march to a beat of a different drum
a beat you've never heard.

[Chorus:]
dont need a leader im not a sheep
and i will never succumb
ill always march to a different beat.
the beat of a differet drum.

you can lead a horse to water
but u cant make him drink,
u can lead a human by the nose
but you cant make him think
i may be lost sometimes
but ill never follow anyone
ill always march to the beat
the beat of a differnet drum

you say that we're cliche,
just passing trend
i say ur afraid of our beat,
afraid to be our frend

i'll stand and fight, i wont run
never go out of style
i'll lead the pack, wont fall back
i'll go the extra mile
