No matter what they say I gotta bend the rules Just a little... to know that I'm being true Cause I see the world as more than green and blue I don't give up on what I aim to do I, I keep right to the beat I, I keep right to the beat I dance to the beat of my own drum I gotta let you know How I feel inside Just a little piece of what's on my mind Oh, I've been down this road before And it was me who broke my fall Cause I made it on my own I, I keep right to the beat I, I keep right to the beat I dance to the beat of my own drum Forget about the things that only make you cry Forget about the ones who won't open their eyes To see that there is nothing, nothing like feelin' free.
