Yo, this one right here is for all the drop-out-of-schoolers
The future cougars, the Mary Jane abusers
The ones that choose to be losers
For all the Misfit Kids and the total outcasts, MKTO
This one's for you, role models!
We are the ones, the ones you left behind
Don't tell us how, tell us how to live our lives
Ten million strong, we're breaking all the rules
Thank you for nothing, 'cause there's nothing left to lose
Thank you for feeding us years of lies
Thank you for the wars you left us to fight
Thank you for the world you ruined overnight
But we'll be fine, yeah, we'll be fine (ha, look, ah)
Thank you for the world you broke
Like yolk and it ain't no joke
So cold and there ain't no coat
Just me, my friends, my folks, and
We're gonna do what we like
So raise that bird up high
And when they ask you why
Just stand there, laugh and smile
We are the ones, the ones you left behind
Don't tell us how, tell us how to live our lives
Ten million strong, we're breaking all the rules
Thank you for nothing, 'cause there's nothing left to lose
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na (thank you)
Thank you for the times you said, "Don't make a sound"
Thanks for the ropes you used to hold us down
'Cause when I break through, I'ma use them to reach the clouds
We ain't comin' down (come on)
We ain't comin' down (ha, hey)
Look, ma, I finally made it
This world is too damn jaded
My life is just like Vegas
Go big, go home, get faded
Been a prob since '92
Can't shut me down, curfew
And 'em girls, I'll take a few
Do what I wanna do
We are the ones, the ones you left behind
Don't tell us how, tell us how to live our lives (don't tell us how to live our lives)
Ten million strong, we're breaking all the rules
Thank you for nothing (for nothing)
'Cause there's nothing left to lose
Na-na-na-na (hey)
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na (na-na-na-na)
Na-na-na-na-na-na (thank you)
Na-na-na-na (hey)
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na (thank you)
Thank you from the bottom of my heart
From head to toe, from the soul you ripped apart
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) I say, "Thank you"
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) I say, "Thank you"
Yeah, yeah (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh-oh (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Thank you
We are the ones, the ones you left behind (thank you)
Don't tell us how (thank you), tell us how to live our lives (yeah)
Ten million strong, we're breaking all the rules (yeah, yeah)
Thank you for nothing, 'cause there's nothing left to lose (woo!)
We are the ones, the ones you left behind
Don't tell us how, tell us how to live our lives
Ten million strong (yeah, ay), we're breaking all the rules
Thank you for nothing, 'cause there's nothing left to lose (thank you)
Yo, if you don't like what they tell you to do, don't do it, huh
If you don't wanna be who they want you to be, screw it
It's your world, it's your life, and they ruined it
Role models, tune in, turn up, drop out (oh)
(Na-na-na-na)
