Lyrics
(All)
La da da la da da da da
La da da la da da da da
(Luke)
Just a kid it's all the same
Growing up it doesn't change
Who were they to try and put us down
Had enough of what they say
Sick and tired of all their games
Stand up and sing it with me now
(All)
La da da la da da da da
La da da la da da da da
(Michael)
So save me from who I'm supposed to be
Don't wanna be a victim of authority
I'll always be a part of the minority
Save me from who I'm supposed to be
So tell me, tell me, tell me
What you want from me
I don't wanna be another social casualty
(Calum)
Just a girl turned eighteen
She ran away to chase her dreams
And they said she wouldn't make it far
She took a chance and packed her bags
She left town and didn't look back
So tired of wishing on the stars
(All)
La da da la da da da da
La da da la da da da da
(Michael and Luke)
So save me from who I'm supposed to be
Don't wanna be a victim of authority
I'll always be a part of the minority
Save me from who I'm supposed to be
So tell me, tell me, tell me
What you want from me
I don't wanna be another social casualty
(All)
La da da la da da da da
GO (Michael)
La da da la da da da da
SCREAM (Michael)
(Michael and Luke)
So save me from who I'm supposed to be
Don't wanna be a victim of authority
I'll always be a part of the minority
Save me from who I'm supposed to be
So tell me, tell me, tell me
What you want from me
I don't wanna be another social casualty
La da da la da da da da
Social casualty (Michael)
