(Willcox / Bogen)
I'm bored
I don't want to go to school
Don't wanna be nobody's fool
I wanna be me
I wanna be me
I don't wanna be sweet and neat
I don't want someone living my life for me
I wanna be free
I'm gonna turn this world inside out
Gonna turn suburbia upside down
Gonna walk the streets, scream and shout
Gonna crawl through the alleyways, being very loud
Don't wanna be told what to wear
As long as you're warm who cares
I wanna be me
I wanna be me
So what if I dye my hair?
I've still got a brain up there
And I'm gonna be me
I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna turn this world inside out
Gonna turn suburbia upside down
Gonna walk the streets, scream and shout
Gonna crawl through the alleyways, being very loud
I'm gonna turn this world inside out
Gonna turn suburbia upside down
Tear down the wallpaper
Turf out the cat
Tear up the carpet
And get rid of that
Blow up the TV
Blow up the car
Without these things
You don't know where you are
Sell all the magazines
Pull down the abattoirs
And all that's obscene
Everything in life
Should be totally free
We should live and let live
And all live our dreams
I'm gonna turn this world inside out
I'm gonna turn suburbia upside down
I'm gonna pull my hair, scream and shout
I'm gonna crawl through the alleyways, being very loud
I'm gonna turn this world inside out
I'm gonna turn suburbia upside down
I'm gonna pull my hair, scream and shout
I'm gonna crawl through the alleyways, being very loud
I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free
