I don't want to be one of those kids

You know the ones I mean

The ones that sit there day and night

At some boring job or school

I don't want to be like them

I'd rather do my own thing

And maybe to you it's not imprtant

But who said you were in charge here

You say my job is a dreamers job

One that no one should have

Apparently being creative is something that i shouldn't be

Well you can just your traditions

All your taxes and lies

All your American dreams

Shove them into the garbage disposal

I have learned two things in this world

Doing something that changes everything

And doing nothing that changes nothing

Isn't worth while

So you can go have your boring jobs

Pay all your taxes and fees

Go support the wars and murders

But that's where you won't find me

I'll take the back roads

I'll leave this world behind

Cause I'd rather be an artist than be a soldier in war
