    it's a good life, that's what I'm told,

            C                  G                        F

    but everything, it all just feels the same.

                C                            G

    At my high school, it felt more to me

              C                     F

    like a jail cell, a penitentiary,

            C                             G                     F

     my time spent there, it only made me see.

 

           Am                                F

    That I don't ever wanna be like you

    C

    I don't wanna do the things you do.

           Am                                F

    I'm never gonna hear the words you say

          G

    and I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be ..

                  C

    Do you really wanna be another trend ?
