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 found


I 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 play
This game

Called life i know you think i'm crazy
But i don't necessarily wanna live like that
So when i'm coming up to that

You think i'm a failure
But i got heart
And i'm gonna hit this other part


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 know
So this is how i do

Well that's just how i do

I go... ?

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 fire words

I can see the sparks flying?

Well i don't necessarily wanna live that way

I make my own rules when i play
This game
Called life i know you think i'm crazy

But i don't necessarily wanna live like that
So when i'm coming up to that
You think i'm a failure

But i got heart
And i'm gonna hit this other part


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 play


But i don't necessarily wanna live like that
So when i'm coming up to that

You think i'm a failure
But i got heart
And i'm gonna hit this other part


Well i don't necessarily wanna live that way
I make my own rules when i play

This game
Called life i know you think i'm crazy
But i don't necessarily wanna live like that

So when i'm coming up to that
You think i'm a failure
But i got heart

And i'm gonna hit this other part
