A/N- Yes, this is another songfic. But I doubt any of you recognize this song. It's "Drink Up" by AKA the Hat. Go visit their site at www.angelfire.com/indie/akathehat/ As the site says, this is about conformity. If you can't figure it out, go listen to your Backstreet Boys and Garth Brooks.

Disclaimer- I own neither Yu-Gi-Oh or the song "Drink Up". Some rich dude owns Yu-Gi-Oh and AKA the Hat owns "Drink Up".

Dedicated to my cousin, Javier, the drummer of AKA the Hat. For telling me that if you feel like doing something, then do it.





Drink Up- By Darkside Omega





~ It's on the radio, it's playing on TV

Millions like you, figures of conformity. ~



You dueled to save your grandfather. He dueled to save his sister's sight. I dueled to save my brother. We may not look or act the same, but in the end we are one. We are the same. But I refuse to conform to your ways.



~ And you're so very proud of anonymity

Faceless in the crowd- congruent city. ~



You were normal. You liked being normal. You were happy being normal. I'll never know why you do what you do. You were always so cheerful, helpful, and giving. Not like me. I was one of _them_. The kind of person you didn't like, didn't get along with. But you still tried to help me. Tried to get me to set my toe to the line, just like everybody else. Well, you failed. I'm not going to.



~ It's pressing down on you

So you just give up

Here's to conformity- Drink up! ~

I have my rights. I have the right to remain silent. I have the right to speak my mind. I have the right to be different. A have the right to be me. So, what happened to you? Why did you conform? Decide to be just like all the rest, and all. Did the pressure get to you? You gave in, didn't you, rather than be different. That is where the road forks and our similarities end.



~ Calculated artists provide rebellion fix

Impressionable poseurs get thrown into the mix. ~



Yes, you and your little gang of do-gooders. You, Tea, Joey, and Tristan. All of you going around, doing your good deed of the day, just so you can fit in. Joey and Tristan are idiots, plain and simple. Those two have progressed (or digressed, whichever suits you better.) to an extreme case of mental deficiency. Much like a large fraction of the world. Tea is...obsessive. yes, that's the word I'm looking for. She's an idealist. She believes the world should be one big happy family, bathed in light and encased in love. Just like you, but on a more drastic scale.



~ You think that you are different

But you are just the same

As everybody else that's caught up in this game. ~



And finally you. Yugi Motou. You're half my size with tri-colored hair and an ancient spirit that lives in a puzzle. Yes, I know about him. I'm not blind. In any case, you would be branded as different. You strive for peace, but deep inside, you want revenge just as badly as anyone else. You're a main stream person. Like boy bands in the music world.



~ It's pressing down on you

So you just give up

Here's to conformity- Drink up! ~



You succumbed to everyone else's expectations, submitted willingly to the world's ideas. Drink up, Yugi. You're one of them now. You're the same as everybody else.

A/N- Uh...yeah...if that seemed a tad bit bitter towards the other characters, then I apologize to those who are offended. But Seto...he just seems so...melancholy all the time. And he probably would approve of how this was written. But not when. I need to lay off the caffinated mints...
