back up on the count of three
i'm picking up the pieces
had dirt on my feet before
but i will not let this brutal world hold me down
wont waste another day
got this life ahead of me as long as you know

i wont change for you hold me down
i'll bend but never break. wont change for you

something down inside of me just trembles on commitment
cause i dont want your american dream
does that make me different
so touch the ground
you'll never capture me
i dont want your simple life just as long as you know
