I’d Rather Be Me - 16-bit rock

[JANIS] So your best friend screwed you over Acted nice when she not nice Well, I have some advice 'Cause it's happened to me twice Here's my secret strategy It always works because The world doesn’t end It just feels like it does Just raise your right finger And solemnly swear "Whatever they say about me I don't care!" I won't twist in knots to join your game I will say, "you make mе mad" And if you treat me bad I'll say, "you're bad" And if I еat alone from this moment on That's just what I'll do 'Cause I'd rather be me I'd rather be me I'd rather be me than be with you We're supposed to all be ladies And be nurturing and care Is that really fair? Boys get to fight, we have to share Here's the way that that turns out We always understand How to slap someone down With our underhand So here's my right finger To how girls should behave 'Cause sometimes what’s meant to break you Makes you brave So I will not act all innocent I won’t fake apologize Let's just fight and then make up Not tell these lies Let's call our damage even Clean the slate till it's like new It’s a new life for me Where I'd rather be me I'd rather be me Than be with you I'll say, "No!" [STUDENTS] No! [JANIS] I'll say, "Knock it off, with your notes And your rules and your games" And those sycophants who follow you I'll remember all their names And when they drag you down Like they inevitably do I will not laugh along with them And approve their palace coup 'Cause that’s not me I don't need their good opinions I've got plenty of opinions Every asshole has opinions, but it doesn't make them true What's true is being me And I'd rather be me I'd rather be me than be with you [JANIS, STUDENTS] So raise 'em high, 'cause playing nice and shy is insulting my I.Q (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) I'd rather be me (I'd rather be me) I'd rather be me (I'd rather be me) I'd rather be me than be with you (I'd rather be me) I'd rather be me (I'd rather be me) I'd rather be me (I'd rather be me) I'd rather be me than be with you I'd rather be me I'd rather be me I'd rather be me than be with you
