Yo, this one right here
Is for all the drop out-of-schoolers
The future cougars

The Mary Jane abusers
The ones that chose to be losers
For all the misfit kids and the total outcasts

MKTO
This one's for you
Role models


We are the ones
The ones you left behind

Don't tell us how
Tell us how to live our lives
Ten million strong

We're breaking all the rules
Thank you for nothing
Cause there's nothing left to lose


Thank you for feeding us years of lies
Thank you for the wars you left us to fight

Thank you for the world you ruined overnight
But we'll be fine
Yeah we'll be fine


Thank you for the world you broke
Like yolk and it ain't no joke

So cold and there ain't no coat
Just me, my friends, my folks, and
We gonna do what we like

So raise that bird up high
And when they ask you why
Just stand there laugh and smile


We are the ones
The ones you left behind

Don't tell us how
Tell us how to live our lives
Ten million strong

We're breaking all the rules
Thank you for nothing
Cause there's nothing left to lose


Na na na na
Na na na na na na

Na na na na
Na na na na na na


Thank you for the times you said don't make a sound
Thanks for the ropes you used to hold us down
Cause when I break through I'ma use them to reach the clouds

We ain't comin' down
We ain't comin' down


Look Ma I finally made it
This world is too damn jaded
My life is just like Vegas

Go big, go home, get faded
Been a since '92
Can't shut me down curfew

And them girls I'll take a few
Do what I wanna do


We are the ones
The ones you left behind
Don't tell us how

Tell us how to live our lives
Ten million strong
We're breaking all the rules

Thank you for nothing
Cause there's nothing left to lose


Na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na

Na na na na na na

Na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na

Na na na na na na

Thank you from the bottom of my heart
From head to toe, from the soul you ripped apart
I say thank you

I say thank you
Yeah...
Oh...
Thank you


We are the ones
The ones you left behind (Thank you)
Don't tell us how (Thank you)
Tell us how to live our lives (Yeah...)
Ten million strong

We're breaking all the rules (Yeah...)
Thank you for nothing (Yeah)
Cause there's nothing left to lose

We are the ones
The ones you left behind

Don't tell us how
Tell us how to live our lives
Ten million strong
We're breaking all the rules
Thank you for nothing
Cause there's nothing left to lose


Yo, if you don't like what they tell you to do
Don't do it
If you don't want to be who they want you to be
Screw it
It's your world
It's your life
And they ruined it
