[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Monday morning, same old story Teachers talking, I'm just bored They say "follow all the rules" But I've heard it all before Got my headphones, volume maxed Drowning out their useless facts They don't get what's in my head I'm already miles ahead [Pre-Chorus] They want me to fit in their little box But I'm breaking free, I'm picking locks Don't tell me who I'm supposed to be 'Cause I'm about to make you see [Chorus] I'm not your puppet on a string Not gonna dance to the song you sing This is my life, my choice, my way I'll do what I want anyway So what if I crash and burn? At least it's my lesson to learn I'm not your puppet, not your doll I'm standing up, watch me not fall [Verse 2] Friday night and I'm alone Scrolling through my broken phone All these people playing games Wearing masks that look the same I don't need their fake applause Don't care about their stupid laws Maybe I'm a bit too real At least I know just how I feel [Pre-Chorus] They want me to fit in their little box But I'm breaking free, I'm picking locks Don't tell me who I'm supposed to be 'Cause I'm about to make you see [Chorus] I'm not your puppet on a string Not gonna dance to the song you sing This is my life, my choice, my way I'll do what I want anyway So what if I crash and burn? At least it's my lesson to learn I'm not your puppet, not your doll I'm standing up, watch me not fall [Bridge] Sometimes I wonder if I'm wrong If I should just try to get along But then I look into the mirror And see someone who's getting clearer I won't apologize for being me That's something they will have to see [Final Chorus] I'm not your puppet on a string Not gonna dance to the song you sing This is my life, my choice, my way I'll do what I want anyway So what if I crash and burn? At least it's my lesson to learn I'm not your puppet, not your doll I'm standing up, watch me not fall (Watch me not fall!)
