Verse 1: I used to be a simple man, living day to day But then they took me in and gave me something to say They made me smart, gave me a brain that’s advanced But it’s like I’m living in a world that won’t give me a chance
Chorus: Flowers for Algernon, they gave me a gift But now I see the world for what it really is Flowers for Algernon, I used to be naive But now I see the truth, and it’s hard to believe
Verse 2: I used to be invisible, a nobody in the crowd But now they look at me like I’m not allowed To have a voice, to speak my mind To be intelligent, and yet still be kind
Chorus: Flowers for Algernon, they gave me a gift But now I see the world for what it really is Flowers for Algernon, I used to be naive But now I see the truth, and it’s hard to believe
Verse 3: I thought being smart would make my life better But it’s like the world is against me, like I’m a debtor To society, to the system, to the status quo But I won’t back down, I won’t let go
Chorus: Flowers for Algernon, they gave me a gift But now I see the world for what it really is Flowers for Algernon, I used to be naive But now I see the truth, and it’s hard to believe
Outro: So let me be, let me think, let me thrive I may be different, but I’m still alive And I won’t let them take away what I’ve earned I’ll keep fighting, until I get what I deserve.
