Just a young gun with a quick fuse

I was uptight, wanna let loose

I was dreaming of bigger things and

Wanna leave my own life behind

Not a "Yes, sir", not a follower

Fit the box, fit the mold, have a seat

In the foyer, take a number

I was lightning before the thunder (thunder)

Thunder, thunder, thunder

Thunder, th-th-thunder, thunder

Thunder, thunder, thunder

Thunder, th-th-thunder, thunder

Thunder, feel the thunder (thunder)

Lightning then the thunder (th-th-thunder, thunder)

Thunder, feel the thunder (oh-oh)

Lightning then the thunder, thunder (thunder)

Kids were laughing in my classes

While I was scheming for the masses

Who do you think you are?

Dreaming 'bout being a big star

They say, "You're basic", they say, "You're easy"

You're always riding (you're always riding)

In the backseat (in the backseat)

Now I'm smiling from the stage while

You were clapping in the nosebleeds

Thunder, thunder, thunder

Thunder, th-th-thunder, thunder (you were clapping in the nosebleeds)

Thunder, thunder, thunder (in the nosebleeds)

Thunder, th-th-thunder, thunder

Thunder, feel the thunder (thunder)

Lightning then the thunder

Thunder, feel the thunder (oh-oh)

Lightning then the thunder, thunder

Thunder, feel the thunder

Lightning then the thunder (oh-oh)

Thunder, thunder, thunder

Thunder, th-th-thunder, thunder (lightning then the thunder)

Who do you think you are? (Thunder)

Dreaming 'bout being a big star

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Thunder, feel the thunder

Lightning then the thunder, thunder

Thunder
