There are show offs there are bullies
There are good and there are bad
There are fast and there are slow
And some are angels some are cads
Some are ok some are struggling
Some are happy some are sad
Then there’s me here on my own
I’m just the quiet one at the back

In simple in the scheme of things
We all find our places
Shuffle but it still comes out
Same old favourite faces
Rearrange and move the chairs
To alter what your fate is
Looks like it turned out the same
Nothing ever changes

There are single minded go getters
Who live their life so fast
Some are blinded by the lights
When they are reaching for the stars
Some are pushing to the front
To be the leader of the pack
There’s always one who never runs
I’m just the quiet one at the back

Priorities are different so
Some will thrive and some lead
For others just survival mode
Hide away not be seen
I won’t be pushed I won’t be told
Instruction that I don’t need
You carry on the way you want
As long as you leave me be

Life was a series of lies
To be one of the tribe
So hence the reason that I
Followed familiar rhymes

There’s family a hierarchy
That I know can never change
There’s mum and dad theres brothers one and two
And we all know our place
The matriarch and patriarch
And sibling rivals all know that
Number three won’t disagree
He’s just the quiet one at the back

I don’t want to be a part
Let me keep my distance
If I’m not joining in so what
To you it makes no difference
I refuse to play this game
It’s my choice it makes sense
To me at least it’s everything
My state of independence

Life was a series of lies
To be one of the tribe
So hence the reason that I
Followed familiar rhymes

Don’t repeat the same old lines
You’ll never get away with it
Don’t repeat the same old lines
You’ll never get away with it
There’s rules and regulations
That we follow can’t be messed with that
Mean you shouldn’t just sit there
And be the quiet one at the back
