My first grade teacher said that if i wanted to get ahead i'd,
have to learn to pay attention
but i'd never listen to a word she said and i
always wound up in detention
It wasn't fair
i didn't care
Chorus
i gotta be me
never fit into the box
i gotta be me
mister, unload the docks
i gotta be me
always different from the crowd
i gotta be me
even my whisper comes outloud
I remember working my very first job i was lifting crates
it's possible you'll never fit in
he's the one who's stuck there living inside a life he hates
i'm the one who's really living
It wasn't fair
i didn't care
Chorus
i gotta be me
never fit into the box
i gotta be me
mister, unload the docks
i gotta be me
always different from the crowd
i gotta be me
even my whisper comes outloud
It wasn't fair
i didn't care
Chorus
i gotta be me
never fit into the box
i gotta be me
mister, unload the docks
i gotta be me
always different from the crowd
i gotta be me
even my whisper comes outloud
