It's a new day
But it all feels old
It's a good life
That's what I'm told
But every thing
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 wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
And I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be
Chorus:
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all ya hands up
You
Don't wanna be you
"Go to college
Or 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 wanna be like them?
Do you really wanna be another trend?
Do you wanna be part of that crowd?
Cause I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be
Repeat Chorus
Distorted:
Shake it once, that's fine
Shake it twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, you're playin' with YOURSELF
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all ya hands up
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
You
Don't wanna be just like you (just like you)
This is the anthem
Throw all ya hands up
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
And never lose your anthem (Whoa- oh)(3x)
And never lose your anthemOnce again I just can’t get it straight
Wondering if wandering is my fate
Don’t lose hope in me quite yet
‘Cause help must be on the way
Any day
From my head to my heart
Can’t seem to find a way, they’re so far apart
It’s not you, it’s not your fault
You’ve got everything I could ever want
And you’ve always understood my intentions are good
And we’ve been so close from the start
But the furthest distance I’ve ever known
Is from my head to my heart
I feel the distance standing here next to you
I don't want to keep you waiting, but I've been waiting too
Some day if I get there
And you still want me too
We can see it through
From my head to my heart
Can’t seem to find a way, they’re so far apart
It’s not you, it’s not your fault
You’ve got everything I could ever want
And you’ve always understood my intentions are good
And we’ve been so close from the start
But the furthest distance I’ve ever known
Is from my head to my heart
From my head to my heart
Can’t seem to find a way, they’re so far apart
It’s not you, you’ve got everything I could e
