La la la la la la da da
La la la la la la da da (Ooh!)
Just a kid it’s all the same
Growing up, it doesn’t change
Who are they to try and put us down? (Try and put us down)
Had enough of what they say
Sick and tired of all their games,
Stand up and sing it with me now. (Sing it with me now)
La la la la la la da da
La la la la la la da da
So save me from who I’m supposed to be
Don’t wanna be a victim of authority
I’ll always be a part of the minority
Save me from who I’m supposed to be
So tell me, tell me, tell me what you want from me,
I don’t wanna be another social casualty.
(Social casualty)
Just a girl turned eighteen
She ran away to chase her dreams.
And they said she wouldn’t make it far. (Wouldn’t make it far)
She took a chance and packed her bags
She left town and didn’t look back
So tired of wishing on the stars (Wishing on the stars.)
La la la la la la da da
La la la la la la da da
So save me from who I’m supposed to be
Don’t wanna be a victim of authority
I’ll always be a part of the minority
Save me from who I’m supposed to be
So tell me, tell me, tell me what you want from me,
I don’t wanna be another social casualty.
La la la la la la da da
La la la la la la da da
So save me from who I’m supposed to be
Don’t wanna be a victim of authority
I’ll always be a part of the minority
Save me from who I’m supposed to be
So tell me, tell me, tell me what you want from me,
I don’t wanna be another social casualty.
La la la la la la da da
La la la la la la da da (Social casualty)
