I go my own way

This train doesn't wait

As a kid I'd tell this myself everyday

It wasn't a choice

Was just my own voice

Those thoughts would protect me from going insane

Welcome to my life

It's such a circus

People chase their tail

Without a purpose

And I'm not buying that pill

Even when they try to force it down my throat against my will because

Hey!

I just wanna be different

Yeah!

To regain control

Listen to my soul

I've always struggled to fit in

When I was a kid

All my peace and my joy

They would come from within

Oh I am such an outcast

Got outclassed in school

All the trends were moving too fast

They always blew past this fool

My best friend was the boombox

I would wear my blue socks

Felt cool

I found my love for music

A refuge for the heartsick

My fuel

I just wanna be different

To regain control

Listen to my soul

Yeah!

We all want something different

Something to make us whole

To be in control

There is power in the sound

All you have to do is get up off your ass and turn it loud

I'm doing it my way

My way

And you get no say

Cause this is my way

I just wanna be different

To regain control

Listen to my soul

Yeah!

We all want something different

Something to make us whole

To be in control
