Lyrics:
Its a new day, but it all feels old
Its a good life, thats what I'm told
But everything it all just feels the same
At my highschool, it felt more to me
Like a jail cell, a penatentory
But time spent there it only makes me see
That I dont ever wanna be like you
I dont wanna do the things you do
I'm never gunna hear the words you say
And I dont ever wanna, I dont ever wanna be
You, dont wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin is
This is the anthem throw all your hands up
You, dont wanna be you
Go to college, or university
Get a real job, thats what they said to me
But I could never life the way they want
I'd rather get by, and just do my time
Out of step while, they all get in line
I'm just a minor, please dont pay no mind
Do you realy wanna be like them
Do you realy wanna be another trend
Do you wanna be part of the croud
Cuz I dont ever wanna
I dont realy wanna be
You, dont wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin is
This is the anthem throw all your hands up
You, dont wanna be you
Shake it once thats fine
Shake it twice thats ok
Shake it three times, your playin with your self again
You, dont wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Dont have to feel me
Sing if your with me
You, dont wanna be just like you
Another loser anthem, woah
Another loser anthem, woah
Another loser anthem, woah
Another loser anthem
