Necessarily

They say to get on in this life

You gotta live right

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

This game

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

You think I'm a failure

But I got heart

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

Not saying you're wrong

It just ain't right for me

This is what I know

So this is how I do

Well that's just how I do

I go againt the grains

And I'll be just fine

Stand up from the crowd

I'm gonna get mine

There's a fraction

Too much friction

But I love fireworks

Bout too see the sparks flyin'

Well I don't necessarily wanna live that way

I make my own rules when I play

This game

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

You think I'm a failure

But I got heart

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

You think I'm a failure

But I got heart

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

This game

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

You think I'm a failure

But I got heart

And I'm gonna hit this out the park
