Lyrics
You know I'm not the only one
Who's ever felt this way
Tortured to despair
Just waiting to get away
Scatter down the halls, gonna make a dash
Giving them hell, gonna make it last
The whole class laugh, opportunities pass
Everyone's trying to get you down
You always wanted the last laugh
But guess what buddy?
You're not perfect
Five whole years, they were not worth it
Just wait 'til we find our sound
Hey! I wanna say thank you
For tearing me down, day after day
Hey! I wanna say thank you
For finally giving me the chance to say
Always stuck out of the crowd
Our emotional scars, we wear proud
Caged up with those hostile
You'll never break our smile
Scatter down the halls, gonna make a dash
Giving them hell, gonna make it last
The whole class laugh, opportunities pass
Everyone's trying to get you down
You always wanted the last laugh
But guess what buddy?
You're not perfect
Five whole years, they were not worth it
Just wait 'til we find our sound
Hey! I wanna say thank you
For tearing me down, day after day
Hey! I wanna say thank you
For finally giving me the chance to say
Go, go go!
