People round me got a strong feelin'
My habits ain’t good 
Guess I'm losin' some good ol' respect
In this neighbourhood
Give me a break
Stop complaining so loud
As long as you don’t know honey
What y'r talkin' about

Won't be long before y'r gonna find out
Y'r local misfit’s is a national breakout
Gonna prove y'r smalltown judgement wrong
Gonna do a lil' thing to makes you feel proud
Gonna make you feel proud

Take life by the neck
And I won't let it go
Entertain this mob
Like fightin' a bull in a rodeo
I don't wanna be poor
I gotta have a job
But not like everybody else
On the block

Take you by surprise
Stop complainin’ so loud honey
Gonna do a lil' thing
To makes you feel proud
Gonna make you feel proud
