when i was a younger lad, they said follow me, imgaine all the peace you'll find in conformity, now that i am 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, i'll always march to a different beat, the beat of a differet drum. you can lead a horse to water but u can't make him drink, u can lead a human by the nose but you cant make him think i may be lost sometimes but i don't follow anyone i'll always march to the beat the beat of a different drum you say that we're cliche, just a passing trend, i say ur afraid of our beat, afraid to be our friend i'll stand and fight, i wont run i'll never go out of style i'll lead the pack, wont fall back i'll go the extra mile
