I wont take all that they hand me down,
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown,
And I wont take it all lying down,
cause once I get started I go to town.
Cause I'm not like everybody else,
I'm not like everybody else,
And I dont want to ball about like everybody else,
And I dont want to live my life like everybody else,
And I wont say that I feel fine like everybody else,
cause I'm not like everybody else,
I'm not like everybody else.
If you all want me to settle down,
Slow up and stop all my running round,
Do everything like you want me to,
There's one thing that I will say to you,
I'm not like everybody else,
I'm not like everybody else....
