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
