[Intro]
Be great
[Chorus]
Be great, be great
You still don't know what hell's waiting for you
The gaze of some, the rejection of others
If you're weird, if you're not funny
Be great, be great
Be great, be great
Why would they love you only the way you are?
If you're not like them when you're natural
[Verse 1]
Be great, be great
Make them envy you, make them look at you
Make them tremble, make them dream
Let it be a chance to come talk to you
Be great, be great
If they can't use you, what are they gonna do?
Leaving you in a corner, looking at you the wrong way
In time, you'll become bitter
Unity requires common enemies
A whipping boy to make friends
Gotta have fun, got to have friends, huh?
Please, baby, don't become a common enemy.
Please force yourself, make friends
Please, baby, don't gossip
For that, no choice, you have to be great
Be great, be great
[Chorus]
Be great, be great
You still don't know what hell's waiting for you
The gaze of some, the rejection of others
If you're weird, if you're not funny
Be great, be great
Be great, be great
Why would they love you only the way you are?
If you're not like them when you're natural
[Verse 2]
Become powerful and smart
Make money, get into the dance
Grow up but stay beautiful like a child
If you're not good enough, they'll laugh at you
You have to be someone to be opened up to you at the front desk
You have to be someone so they pour their heart out to you
And even if, one day, you find your half
You can't stop her from asking herself
"Don't I deserve someone more great?
Huh? I'm so great"
Be great, be great
Only I will always love you unconditionally
The others will ask for dreams, sex, money
Or just that you're at their disposal
Be great, be great
[Chorus]
Be great, be great
You still don't know what hell's waiting for you
The gaze of some, the rejection of others
If you're weird, if you're not funny
Be great, be great
Be great, be great
Why would they love you only the way you are?
If you're not like them when you're natural
[Outro]
Don't become like them but take their gimmicks
Don't think I valid, I'm just anticipating, I'll change the rules, but you grow up fast
Don't become like them but take their gimmicks
Take cover, son, you have to anticipate, I'll change the rules, but you grow up fast
Be great, be great
Be great, be great
Be great, be great
Be great, be great
