You are the average

VERSE

Em - G - Am

Careful of the friends you have

Remember you can choose

You may not like their attitudes

But in time you'll share their views

Everything gets past around 

From attributes to vice

If you accept their company

You'll soon take their advice

BRIDGE

F  G

Oh man

CHORUS

C

You are the average

Am

Of the five people

F                                                     C

With whom you spend most of the time

You are the average

You only know what you've been taught

You think your culture's thoughts

VERSE

You look around the place you work

With an expression of disgust

At people who you'll never be 

There's no one you can trust

But take a look from a little bit up

You already look the same

You're blending in quite perfectly

You fit inside the frame

You fit inside the frame

BRIDGE + CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE

Even you ambitions

What you want from life

Can be enabled or destroyed

By your husband or your wife

Your friends can help you be a better person

Or lead you on the path to sin

You might think you can rise above it

But in time you will sink in

In time you will sink in

BRIDGE + CHORUS
