Go
The crowd pleaser shows up at the party and shows the best friend up
You think you're above people at the party so tear the dance floor up
I will not
I will not
I will not be the prized hotshot
I work for me
I work for me
I work for me not the title M.D
Friends and relatives in your thought process
So you wanna impress, so you wanna impress
You live in the shadow of their past success
You're obsessed, you're obsessed over their opinion
All my friends they wanna be doctors while I'm just a wannabe punk rocker
All my friends they wanna be doctors while I'm just a wannabe punk rocker
Yeah
Go through M-kitty-cats and residency to wear that white coat up
Walking in your scrubs because you are one, attendings will rough you up
I will not
I will not
I will not live like a bot
I work for me
I work for me
I work for me, not for faculty
Friends and relatives in your thought process
And now you want success
You're obsessed, you're obsessed over their opinion
All my friends they wanna be doctors while I'm just a wannabe punk rocker
All my friends they wanna be doctors while I'm just a wannabe punk rocker
All my friends they wanna be doctors while I'm just a wannabe punk rocker
All my friends they wanna be doctors while I'm just a wannabe punk rocker
Tonight
Tonight
I'm not here to generalize
I'm here to share my side
This is for the few of those who act overqualified
We are all one, so don't push us down
We all want to do our separate things
You have a tough, important job
But we can still sing
All my friends they wanna be doctors while I'm just a wannabe punk rocker
All my friends they wanna be doctors while I'm just a wannabe punk rocker
All my friends they wanna be doctors while I'm just a wannabe punk rocker
All my friends they wanna be doctors while I'm just a wannabe punk rocker
All my friends are punk rockers tonight
All my friends they wanna be doctors, they all wish they were wanna be punk rockers
Tonight

Check check one, two, one, two, one, two
I got a big date it's Friday night
Candle lit dinner for two big price
Designer clothes decked out
You're feeling nice
I had no idea that my friend was there
He was sitting at the bar with your second date to spare
Our convo is a nightmare
Yeah that's my price
So I'll tell you straight to your face that
You're looking for attention
You want the ace of spades
You don't ask any questions
And you're the hack of all trades
Can't you tell I'm bored
Because I don't think that you get it
Down to the last resort
I've gotta make a break for the emergency exit
Get up from my seat, walk down the hall
My plan is so unique
Spend 20 in the stall
I call my friend to lay out the escape
So my friend walks over sits at your table
Chats you up, I hope you're able
To fall for the decoy
Ha you're mistake
Celebrate with the handshake
You're looking for attention
You want the ace of spades
You don't ask any questions
And you're the hack of all trades
Can't you tell I'm bored
Because I don't think that you get it
Down to the last resort
I've gotta make a break for the emergency exit
Please proceed carefully to the nearest emergency exit
You're looking for attention
You're chasing upgrades
You don't ask any questions
I'll take your red flags for a trade
Can't you tell I'm bored
Because I don't think that you get it
And now we're down to the last resort
And so I finally made a break for the emergency exit
Emergency exit one, two, one, two uh yeah

Set My Trap
02:49
|
|||
I got a sense you're driving me crazy
You stare at me
Don't talk to me
My frustration boils up inside me
You can't notice this oh why can't you see?
And no response yet back on the phone
Hard to get can't get you all alone
And now I really want you back
I see you set my trap
We think things are just 'cause we're forever kids
In times of strife
In social life
We gotta see all aspects of these things
To people we talk with and opinions we bring
And no response yet back on the phone
Hard to get can't get you all alone
And now I kinda want you back
I see you set my trap
Woo
And no response yet back on the phone
Hard to get can't get you all alone
And now I just don't want you back
Because you smell like crap

CANCEL

Cancel me
I was oblivious when I was seventeen
Send me to the guillotine
That's how it goes
Anxiety for the last four years
I keep fretting over mistakes that are out of my control
You can hate it
You can hate me
You can hate the name of our family
We can change, grow, progress, and change
'Cause we ain't the same anymore
Forgive me
I'm not perfect for society
I love imperfection to my core
I question me
I struggle with my purpose
Is music really worth it when hate is assured
Hostility, we can find it in our pocket
We're always looking for someone to tear down
Humanity, we're all hiding something
If everyone knew everything then we'd all cancel out
You can hate it
You can hate me
You can hate the name of our family
We can change, grow, progress, and change
'Cause we ain't the same anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore
You can hate it
You can hate me
You can hate the name of our family
You can hate it
You can hate me
You can hate the name of our family
You can hate it
You can hate me
You can hate the name of our family
You can hate it
You can hate me
You can hate the name of our family
We can change, grow, progress, and change
'Cause we ain't the same anymore
We can change, grow, progress, and change
'Cause we ain't the same anymore
We can change, grow, progress, and change
'Cause we ain't the same anymore
We can change, grow, progress, and change
'Cause we ain't the same anymore

IN YOUR FACE
03:11
|
|||
I'm calling for a shake up
Can something please break up my hypnotized state
Although I sense what's best, I still fall for the bait
Boy I can tell you that I learned I don't belong in school
But I comply and fade away like a tarnished tool
A washed up party with a big fake smile
Gotta live that reputation and profile
Been stuck for years, I haven't found my space
So now I'm in your face
The system's way is stuck up
Their favoritism shuts you up
I move at a snail's pace
Oh I just love it when UPain gets in my face
Cut out my chances, so I learned I don't belong in school
But I comply and fade away like a tarnished tool
The fake, shallow convos drive me wild
It's not working the networking lifestyle
The egocentric use you like your waste
So now I'm in your face
Alright
The system's way is stuck up
Their favoritism shuts you up
I move at a snail's pace
Oh I just love it when UPain gets in my face
Cut out my chances, so I learned I don't belong in school
But I comply and fade away like a tarnished tool
A washed up party with a big fake smile
It's not working the networking lifestyle
Been stuck four years I haven't found my space
So now I'm in your face
Yeah now I'm in your face
So now I'm in your face
I'm in your face
