I don't want to go to school Don't want to be nobody's fool I want to be me I want to be me
I don't want to be sweet and neat I don't want someone living my live for me I want to be free
Chorus: I'm going to turn this world inside out Going to turn suburbia upside down Going to walk the streets, scream and shout Going to crawl through the alleyways Being very loud
I don't want to be told what to wear As long as you're warm who cares? I want to be me I want to be me
So what if I dye my hair? I've still got a brain up there And I'm going to be me I'm going to be free
(chorus) I'm going to turn this world inside out I'm going to turn suburbia upside down
Tear down the wallpaper Turf out the cat Tear up the carpet And get rid of that Blow up the TV Blow up the car Without these things You don't know where you are Pull down the abattoirs And all that's obscene Everything in life Should be totally free We should live and let live And all live our dreams
