They say to get on in this life
You gotta live right
Go to school and keep your grades tight
And you mustn't miss a round
Keep your nose to the ground
But the thing that 
I foundI can't do that it just ain't me
Yeah, I dunno, you better ask somebody
Still I hear 'em tellin' me to get my degree
Sayin' it's the only way 
I'm gonna succeed
Well I don't necessarily wanna live that way
I make my own rules when 
I playThis game
Called life 
I know you think 
I'm crazyBut 
I don't necessarily wanna live like that
So when I'm coming up to bat
You think 
I'm a failure
But I got heart
And I'm gonna hit this out the park
I just don't wanna live that way
See I'm just trynna live my life
I got my own way of doing things
Now sayin' "you're wrong"
Which just ain't right for me
This is what 
I knowSo this is how 
I doWell that's just how 
I doI go against the grain
And I'll be just fine
Stand up from the crowd
I'm gonna get mine
There's a fraction
Too much friction
But I love fire workslet us see the sparks flying?
Well I don't necessarily wanna live that way
I make my own rules when 
I playThis game
Called life 
I know you think 
I'm crazyBut 
I don't necessarily wanna live like that
So when I'm coming up to bat
You think 
I'm a failure
But I got heart
And I'm gonna hit this out the park
And no-one seems to get this
No I'm not bein' rebellious
I just don't wann to live that way
I can't help it, it's just me
And maybe one day you'll see
That I just make my own rules when 
I playBut 
I don't necessarily wanna live like that
So when I'm coming up to bat
You think 
I'm a failure
But I got heart
And I'm gonna hit this out the park
Well I don't necessarily wanna live that way
I make my own rules when 
I playThis game
Called life 
I know you think 
I'm crazyBut 
I don't necessarily wanna live like that
So when I'm coming up to bat
You think 
I'm a failure
But I got heart
And I'm gonna hit this out the park
