They say to get on in this life
Go to school and keep your grades tight
And you mustn't miss a round
Keep your nose to the ground
But the thing that I found
I can't do that it just ain't me
You don't know you better ask somebody
Still I hear 'em telling me to get my degree
Saying it's the only way I'm gonna succeed
Well I don't necessarily wanna live that way
I make my own rules when I play
Called life I know you think I'm crazy
But I don't necessarily wanna live like that
So when I'm coming up to bat
And I'm gonna hit this out the park
I just don't wanna live that way
See I'm just tryna live my life
I got my own way of doin' things
It just ain't right for me
Well that's just how I do
Bout too see the sparks flyin'
Well I don't necessarily wanna live that way
I make my own rules when I play
Called life I know you think I'm crazy
But I don't necessarily wanna live like that
So when I'm coming up to bat
And I'm gonna hit this out the park
And no-one seems to get this
No I'm not being rebellious
I just don't wanna to live that way
I can't help it, it's just me
And maybe one day you'll see
That I just make my own rules when I play
But I don't necessarily wanna live like that
So when I'm coming up to bat
And I'm gonna hit this out the park
Well I don't necessarily wanna live that way
I make my own rules when I play
Called life I know you think I'm crazy
But I don't necessarily wanna live like that
So when I'm coming up to bat
And I'm gonna hit this out the park
