It was not ever my scene
To be homecoming queen
Or to hang from the sleeve
Of the captain of the footbal team
That's not what I am

And no a princess I will never be
My fingernails are chipped, my mind is dirty
Everything about me just about screams
I am the anti-debutante
And I'm the child of a common man

Thank God, I am what I am, hell yeah

And all my life I tried to be what was expected of me
And that led to lonliness and misery
And all the bullshit lying inbetween
Well, no thank you, man
Say...

Thank God, I am what I am, hell yeah (x2)
Thank God.

(Instrumental break)

It was not ever my scene
To be homecoming queen
Or hang on the sleeve of anybody
Yes...

Thank God, I am what I am, hell yeah (repeat)
