My first grade teacher said that if I wanted to get ahead, I   Have to learn to pay attention   But I've never listened to a word she said, And I   Always wound up in detention   It wasn't fair, I didn't care      [Chorus:]   I gotta be me,    Never fit into the box,   I gotta be me,   Mr. Unorthadox,   I gotta be me,    Always different from the crowd,    I gotta be me,   Even my whisper comes out loud      I remember working my very first job I was lifting crates,   It's possible you'll never fit in, ha   He's the one that's stuck there living inside a life he hates,    And I'm the one who's really living, yeah   It wasn't fair, oh I didn't care      I gotta be me,    Never fit into the box,   I gotta be me,   Mr. Unorthadox,   I gotta be me,    Always different from the crowd,    I gotta be me,   Even my whisper comes out loud      It wasn't fair, woah woah woah woah, I didn't care      I gotta be me,    Never fit into the box,   I gotta be me,   Mr. Unorthadox,   I gotta be me,    Always different from the crowd,    I gotta be me,   Even my whisper comes out loud      I gotta be me,    Never fit into the box,   I gotta be me,   Mr. Unorthadox,   I gotta be me,    Always different from the crowd,    I gotta be me,   Even my whisper comes out loud
