Lyrics
(Chorus)
I don't wanna be any other guy, don't wanna live and just get by
I wanna party all night and day, I won't have it any other way
I don't wanna be any other guy, don't wanna live and just get by
I wanna live my life stage by stage, gotta get out of this cage
Gotta get out of this place, maybe I'll head off into space
I don't know what I'll do but I gotta get out
My parents think I'm a disgrace, I guess I'm losing the race
Class is like a punch in the face, always feel I'm in last place
Education's wasting my time, I'm the one stepping out of line
It's easy to see the school system failed me, but I know that
This is who I wanna be
(Chorus)
I'm a winning loser, good at nothing, music abuser, my brain's rotting
Not your everyday average guy, I'm not gonna kiss my dreams goodbye
I'll leave home and build my own road, I don't know where it'll go
No one tells me what to do and I won't
Hear it from you
I won't give up things will turn out my way
I won't give up things will turn out okay
(Chorus)
I don't wanna be any other guy
Don't wanna live and just get by
