Status Quo

Tonight's post is just lyrics written by Darren Criss for the Starkid production "Starship." Starkid is amazing. You should all check out their productions. (http://teamstarkid.com/) (Note: At the end, the song refers to being a starship ranger. To find out more, watch "Starship.")

This song is beautiful. It really just speaks for it's self. (A link to Darren singing is at the bottom.)

 **here is a link to how it's performed in the play http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkQg18qbMQk&feature=autoplay&list=PLF5BDC95E3C0BB504&lf=plpp&playnext=5

It starts with not questioning the answers
And giving up before you've begun
It locks all the doors
Increases the pressure
And in a flash
Your time is up before it's done
And you won't know how it can feel
To feel at all

So I say no to status quo
Who wants to be like the rest
And deny the best that I'm meant for
I will show the status quo
Who wants to be normal
I'll never conform
I will be content to resent the status quo

I'll kick down the walls around me
They don't know how strong I am
I'm not defined by boundaries
They will never understand
I'm so much more

Than status quo
Who cares about being another pipe dreamer
Stuck on the bottom floor
And I know
It's time to go
So maybe I've gotten everything that I wanted
But I think that I might have made it so
When I said no, no, no
To status quo

Cause I am a starship ranger
I'm gonna do everything I can
To always be a starship ranger
Cause it's everything
It's everything I am
