Summer's here, I'm gonna leave this city
Gonna leave it all behind
Gonna put in the keys, put the petal to the floor
Gonna drive drive drive 'til I run out of time
Gonna take it day by day now
Take it all in stride
Gonna put it all on the line now
I've got nothing to hide
So take a look and see that everyone is following the leader
They're all tied up, and caught up in their vanity
But I want more, no I won't be shot down
Nothing they can say can make me stay around
I'm surrounded by four white walls
Trying to cage me in, trying to make me feel small
And I can't sleep at night, I've just gotta move around
I refuse to be locked up, I'm gonna break it break it down
People say that i'm going nowhere
Said I've waited too long
I'm gonna put it all on the line now
Watch me prove them wrong
Following the crowd ain't all it's cracked to be
I refuse to do it and lose my individuality
So take a look and see that everyone is following the leader
They're all tied up, and caught up in their vanity
But I want more, no I won't be shot down
Nothing they can say can make me stay around
I'm one of a kind, I've got personality
I'm the kind of guy I know that I meant to be
And nothing can change that, can't take it from me
I'll be the man, I'll start the craze, open your eyes and see
So take a look and see that everyone is following the leader
They're all tied up, and caught up in their vanity
But I want more, no I won't be shot down
Nothing they can say can make me stay around
