Interlude 2
Play the intro twice
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AFTER YOU LEARNED THE STUFF ABOVE TAKE A LOOK AT THE CHORD-VERSION
Intro:
Interlude:
Verse:
It's a new day, but it all feels old
It's a good life, that's what I'm told
But everything, it all just feels the same
At my high school, it felt more to me
Like a jail cell, a penitentiary
My time spent there, it only made me see
Pre-Chorus:
That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
and I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be
Chorus:
Yooooooooouuu don't wanna be just like you
Oh what I'm sayin' is this is the anthem, throw all your hands up,
Yoooouuuuuuu... don't wanna be...
Interlude:
You!
Verse:
Go to college, a university, get a real job, that's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gonna get by, and just do my time, out of step while,they all get in line
I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind
Pre-Chorus:
Do you really wanna be like them, do you really wanna be another trend?
Do you wanna be part of that crowd?
'cause I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be
Chorus:
Yooooooooouuu don't wanna be just like you
Oh what I'm sayin' is this is the anthem, throw all your hands up,
Yoooouuuuuuu... don't wanna be you
Bridge:
Shake it once, that's fine. Shake it twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself, again.
Solo:
Interlude 2: (played as intro)
You...don't wanna be just like you What I am saying is..
Chorus:
This is the anthem throw all your hands up,
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
yoooooouuuu don't wanna be just like you (just like you)
This is the anthem throw all your hands up
y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
Outro:
Another loser anthem (whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem
