Lyrics
I want, I want, I wanna be free
I got, I got, I gotta be me
Sweat pants, tramp stamps, lift your lids
Ear buds, iPhones, dumb-ass kids
I know it’s me that I gotta be,
And I can’t wait for the world to see
Soul patch, trance dance, techno fool
Wool caps, love France, hipster cool
That special thing deep inside of me,
I won’t give up ‘til I set it free
Blue hair, pierced there, pencil thin
Mock goth, shock rock, tattooed skin
I know it’s me that I gotta be,
And I can’t wait for the world to see
I want, I want, I wanna be free
I got, I got, I gotta be me
- GUITAR SOLO -
Sweat pants, tramp stamps, lift your lids
Ear buds, Androids, dumb-ass kids
I know it’s me that I gotta be,
And I can’t wait for the world to see
Blue hair, pierced there, pencil thin
Mock goth, shock rock, tattooed skin
That special thing deep inside of me,
I won’t give up ‘til I set it free
I had a backward baseball cap, but I couldn’t even rap
I wore my shorts past my knees, like my girlfriend’s capris
Belly button rings, chin piercings and things
Tattoo parlor people with illustrated skin,
Everyone, everywhere, with piercings in their chin
Soul patch, trance dance, techno fool
Wool caps, love France, hipster cool
I know it’s me that I gotta be,
And I can’t wait for the world to see
That special thing deep inside of me,
I won’t give up ‘til I set it free
I want, I want, I wanna be free
I got, I got, I gotta be me
