Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Yeah!...here we go. It's a new day, but it all feels old It's a good life, that's what I'm told But everything, it all just feels the same At my high school, it felt more to me like a jail cell, a penitentiary My time spent there it only made me see That I don't ever want to be like you I don't want to do the things you do I'm never gonna hear the words you say And I don't ever wanna. I don't ever want to be.you. Don't want to be just like you What I'm saying is this is the anthem Throw all your hands up you. Don't want to be you Go to college, a university, get a real job That's what they said to me But I could never live the way they want I'm gonna get by and just do my time Out of step while they all get in line I'm just a minor threat, so pay no mind Do you really want to be like them, Do you really want to be another trend, Do you want to be part of that crowd Cause I don't ever wanna. I don't ever want to be you. Don't want to be just like you What I'm saying is.this is the anthem Throw all your hands up.you. Don't want to be you. (Shake it once, that's fine, shake it twice that's okay. Shake it 3 times your playing with yourself again.) You. Don't want to be just like you, What I'm saying is..this is the anthem Throw all your hands up Why'll got the feeling, sing if you're with me you. Don't want to be just like you (just like you) This is the anthem, throw all your hands up Why'll got the feeling, sing if your with me Another loser anthem (whoa) 4x
