 the young and the hopeless: THE ANTHEM
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)
