American Pie - Anthem [Good Charlotte] lyrics

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

And my high school, it felt more to me

Like a jail cell, a penitentiary

My time spent there only made me see

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

'Cause I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be

You...don't wanna be just like you

What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem

throw all your hands up, you, don't wanna be you

"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

Do you really wanna be like them, do you really wanna be another trend?

Do you wanna be part of their crowd?

'Cause I don't ever wanna, no I don't ever wanna be

You...don't wanna be just like you

What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem

throw all your hands up, you, don't wanna be you

Shake it once, that's fine

Shake it twice, that's okay

Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself again

You...don't wanna be just like you

What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem

throw all your hands up,

Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me,

you, 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

Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)

Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)

Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)

Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
