[Verse 1]

Come on, can't I dream for one day?

There's nothing that can't be done

But how long should it take somebody

Before they can be someone?

[Chorus]

'Cause I know there's got to be another level

Somewhere closer to the other side

And I'm feeling like it's now or never

Can I break the spell of the typical?

The typical

[Verse 2]

Now, I've lived through my share of misfortune

And I've worked in the blazing sun

But how long should it take somebody

Before they can be someone?

[Chorus]

'Cause I know there's got to be another level

Somewhere closer to the other side

And I'm feeling like it's now or never

Can I break the spell of the typical?

The typical, the typical, uh-huh

I'm the typical

I'm the typical

Can I break the spell of the typical?

[Bridge]

Because it's dragging me down

Oh, I'd like to know about when

When does it all turn around?

(I'm just the typical)

(I'm just the typical)

[Chorus]

Yeah, I know there's got to be another level

Somewhere closer to the other side

And I'm feeling like it's now or never

Can I break the spell of the typical?

The typical, the typical, uh-huh

(Of the typical)

Break the spell (Of the typical)

Break the spell (Of the typical)

Can I break the spell of the typical?

Of the typical, shout

I'm just the typical

I'm just the typical

I'm just the typical, -cal

I'm just the typical
