Lyrics

STARLIGHT GLIMMER SAID SAMENESS IS PEACE
AND TO BE MY BEST THROUGH EQUALITY
THAT TO EXCELL'S TO FAIL, UNIQUENESS IS TO NO AVAIL AND
SPECIAL TALENTS ARE NOT SO SPECIAL

TWILIGHT SPARKLE SAYS OUR CUTIE MARKS
ARE ESSENTIAL PARTS OF WHO WE ARE
THAT I CAN BE MY BEST, AND THIS IS JUST A TEST
AND FRIENDSHIP BRINGS STRENGTH
THROUGH OUR DIFFERENCES

BUT I DIDN'T LISTEN TO CONVENTIONAL WISDOM
I DIDN'T LISTEN TO COMMON SENSE
SEE MY MINDLESS GRIN AND KNOW I'VE NO INTENTION OF
RECTIFYING THIS SITUATION
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

THEY TOLD ME DAYDREAMING BRINGS ME DOWN
AND THEY TOLD ME TO LISTEN TO THEIR SOUND
THEY TOLD ME TO BELIEVE AND NEVER TO CONCEIVE
OF WHAT I COULD BE, IF LEFT UP TO ME

BUT I DIDN'T LISTEN TO CONVENTIONAL WISDOM
I DIDN'T LISTEN TO COMMON SENSE
SEE MY MINDLESS GRIN, AND KNOW I'VE NO INTENTION OF
RECTIFYING THIS SITUATION
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

THEY SAID THEIR PARTY FAVORS THE WEAK
THEY SAID BE QUIET AND TAKE MY SEAT
THEY SAID DON'T RAISE MY VOICE
AND TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE
BUT I HEARD NOTHING AMONGST THAT NOISE, BECAUSE...

I DIDN'T LISTEN TO CONVENTIONAL WISDOM
I DIDN'T LISTEN TO COMMON SENSE
SEE MY MINDLESS GRIN, AND KNOW I'VE NO INTENTION OF
RECTIFYING THIS SITUATION, RECTIFYING THIS SITUATION
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
