Million kids out there like me   On the dance floor wanna be free   Something 'bout getting lost in the crowd   You can't hear problems cause the music's too loud   I don't care what people be sayin'   I'm gonna do things my own way   Original, no zerox copy   Leader, not a follower, so back up off me      CHORUS:   If you're from the rhythm nation lemme hear you all say hey ya   Join in on the conversation put your two cents in say hey ya   Mixed up and I think I like it   Mixed up and I think I like it   Mixed up and I think I like it   Feel so different I'm cool with it      I don't worry bout tryin' to fit in   Long as you're cool we can be friends   I'm a little bit of this little bit that   Best of both worlds all over the map   I'm just a regular guy   I ain't even gonna lie   I'm trying to figure it out   What this life thing's all about      Chorus      Why you gotta place me in a category   I'm just trying to be me and that's all I can be   It's only half the story but if you read to the end   Maybe then you'll begin to understand me      Chorus
