[Intro]

They said I have to be good

But I saw them not being good themselves

Now why should I be?

How can they expect the world

To be good not being good themselves?

[Chorus]

Every effort that I take

To be better than I am

Makes me feel that I am fake

Is it all for my own sake

I don't wanna be good now

If the world's pushing me down

I'll resist I will break out

No doubt

[Verse 1]

I'm not gonna blow out my brains

Isn't it good news?

I'll do my best till I can

Death is the only truth

I'm not gonna kill all the bad

I am not good too

This world is a little bit mad

Can you just see me through

See me through

Can you see me

[Chorus]

Every effort that I take

To be better than I am

Makes me feel that I am fake

Is it all for my own sake

I don't wanna be good now

If the world's pushing me down

I'll resist I will break out

No doubt

[Verse 2]

Making it right blows up my mind

Making it wrong turns me on

I will not do what I am told

I will not go

(Where I don't wanna go)

Making it right blows up my mind

Making it wrong turns me on

I will not do what I am told

I will not go

Where I don't wanna go

[Bridge]

Don't wake the beast

It remembers what you've done

I feel it in my chest

I can't hold it now

[Chorus]

Every effort that I take

To be better than I am

Makes me feel that I am fake

Is it all for my own sake

I don't wanna be good now

If the world's pushing me down

I'll resist I will break out

No doubt

[Chorus]

Every effort that I take (hard I tried)

To be better than I am (what I sacrificed)

Makes me feel that I am fake (it's my life)

Is it all for my own sake (I'll stand high)

I don't wanna be good now (not this time)

If the world's pushing me down (but I will survive)

I'll resist I will break out (it's my life)

No doubt
