Just the Way - Summertime Dropouts

Another jam packed day

Of everybody on the planet

Telling me to cram it

Telling me I’m not okay

Another troubled little failure

Dangerous behavior

Why can’t they just behave

Another silly little misfit, trying to be different

Look at the clothes they wear

The definition of an outcast

Bottom on the cool graph

Skinny jeans and pink hair

I know that I might be a little bit overwhelming

And I know that you think something must be wrong inside my head

Let go, I’m gonna chase my dreams and pray for a happy ending

You can take me or leave me

Just the way I, just the way I am

They say I might be sick

A psychological condition

Difficult musician

Doesn’t want to fall in line

Another sticky situation

Insubordination, keep it contained this time

A personality disorder

Put him in the corner

up on the dollar sign

We’ll tell him money is the answer

Music is the cancer

Prove it all on Dateline

I know that I might be a little bit overwhelming

And I know that you think something must be wrong inside my head

Let go, I’m gonna chase my dreams and pray for a happy ending

You can take me or leave me

Just the way I, just the way I am

This song is dedicated to all the lost and the hopeless

To anyone who’s ever been abandoned by their friends and their family

For all the laughed at, the rejected, the spit on, the abused and the broken

You are loved

You are worth it

You are more beautiful than you can possibly imagine

You’re a fighter, an undefeated champion

Created in the image of absolute perfection

So hold your head up high kid

We’re all in this together

I know that I might be a little bit overwhelming

And I know that you think something must be wrong inside my head

Let go, I’m gonna chase my dreams and pray for a happy ending

You can take me or leave me

Just the way I, just the way I am
