Turn it up. I got something to say. Verse 1 They put a number on my back, tried to tell me where I belong Give me a list of little rules, I tore the whole damn thing down Everybody talks so loud, everybody knows my name Funny how they love the noise until I set the room in flames Pre-Chorus I don’t need your clean light I don’t need your hand I learned how to stand up Before I learned who understands You want a quiet? I give you thunder. You want it easy? I pull it under. No apology, no I won't take it back If I broke the mold then I'm keeping every crack You can call it crazy, you can call it wrong I've been biting my tongue for way too damn long No apology Hear me with my say I didn't come this far just to live your way Verse 2 I got scars from every door that I had to kick apart Every “no” became a match, every match became a spark I don’t need a perfect story, I don’t need a clean disguise I'd rather show the ugly truth than sell you pretty lies Pre-Chorus I cut the whole world off Let them throw their little stones I've been building something solid Out of everything they broke You want a quiet? I give you thunder. You want it easy? I pull it under. No apology, no I won't take it back If I broke the mold then I'm keeping every crack You can call it crazy, you can call it wrong I've been biting my tongue for way too damn long No apology Hear me with my say I didn't come this far just to live your way Bridge (half-time, raw) I was never built To fit inside your frame You can change the picture But you can't change my name NO APOLOGY! NO DEFENSE! I'M STILL HERE — YOU CAN CHANGE THE PICTURE BUT YOU CAN'T CHANGE MY NAME!!! Final Chorus (double time feel) No apology, no I won't take it back I broke the rules and the speakers cracked You can call it crazy, you can call it wrong I've been holding this fire
