Anti-conformity - Krystal Meyers - rock (old stuff like this) power pop/ techno/ rock (new stuff)

OK. Heat Sig requested a new post, so here we go.
The song i chose this time is called 'Anti- conformity' by Krystal Meyers. It's pretty old, i saw her preform it at a concert a couple years ago, but i still like it and i think it has a really great message about today's society.
Lyrics:
[v.1]
It's all around
Pressure from my so-called friends
It's all around
I'm measured by some stupid trend
It's all around
Everyone is just like them
It's all around
It's all around
It's all around

[Chorus:]
So I'm anti conformity
I don't try too hard to be
I'm not what you think you see
Inside I've made a change
And I'll never be the same
NO WAY!

[v.2.]
They conform
Un-individuality
They conform
Forget about variety
Yeah they conform
They don't know what they believe
They conform
They conform
They conform

[Chorus:]

[v.3]
Image is overrated if it washes off in the rain
You know you gotta go deeper to go against the grain

[Chorus:] [2x]

So yeah. i really like how it's talking about how society is all about having this new thing and that new thing and if you don't have it you're a loser, but i believe that isn't cool at all. The thing that matters the most is the person, not their stuff or looks. I mean, sure go a head, look hot, get new stuff, but make sure that you stay yourself and you don't lower your standards and conform to the world. There will always be peer pressure and until you are sure of yourself, that's going to get to you. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you need to love yourself, follow your beliefs and keep them strong, you will be just like everyone else. And wheres the fun in that??? People may say that all Christians are uptight controlling religious freaks, but if you believe in God does that make you exactly like that?? I do know some people who are controlling religious freaks, but you don't have to conform to THAT either. Just make sure you stay straight, like it would be stupid to be "yeah, i love God, he's my best friend, and i will always follow Him," and then go out and do porn, or slit your wrists or kill people or something. That would be conforming even if you say you aren't.
Go ahead try out for the school play even if it's the dorkiest thing ever, but if it makes you happy then the people who think it's stupid and don't like you just because you were a part of it shouldn't really matter anyway... right?
