Follow your dreams
It was written on the school’s wall
Follow your dreams
Once I read it on a billboard
I say it depends
If your dream is to slaughter dolphins
With your bare hands
If your dream is to get a crocodile
And train it to use forks
And then feed it your mother’s corpse
Then don’t follow your dreams
In fact turn yourself in
You’re a dangerous individual
Just be yourself
No matter what
You’re free to be and do
Whatever you want
I’d rather see the plan
If you’re gonna shave a baby panda
Just because you can
If you’re gonna hang your daughter
To the neck of a giraffe
For a laugh
Then don’t be yourself
In fact be someone else
You’re a dangerous individual
Don’t follow your dreams
Stop following your dreams
Stop following me
