I don't want to live like you,
I do what I like and I like what I do
You say that I'm wasting my potential but it's not true

(chorus)
I want more out of life than 2.5 and a wife
And a picket fence around my home, so why won't you leave me alone?
I don't want the life you lead, I have to do what's right for me (a suit and tie's just not for me)
Fuck tomorrow, live today, why won't you just go away?

I want to be free, not locked in a social cage
You say I'll regret it when I am your age
But is it so much to want to be more than a number on a page?

I don't want to be average or commonplace
I don't want to blend in with each and every other face
You frown on my vagabond lifestyle but I am not a waste.
