Last call now I'm outta time And I don't got no valentine Singled out, now I stand alone The underdog in a modern world Suburbia is hot tonight But nothing seems to feel alright I don't want your sympathy I just need a little therapy At least that's what they say to me Hey ho let's go I'm gonna start a riot You don't want to fight it One two f*ck you Don't tell me what to do I don't want to be like you Can't you see it's killing me I'm my own worst enemy Knock me down I'll keep on moving It's the art of losing Fit the mold and do what you're told Get a job and start growing old 9 to 5 can make your dreams come true But I don't want to be like you I'm not cool and I'll never be I break the rules and I guarantee I don't want your sympathy I just need a little therapy At least that's what they say to me Hey ho let's go I'm gonna start a riot You don't want to fight it One two f*ck you Don't tell me what to do I don't want to be like you Can't you see it's killing me I'm my own worst enemy Knock me down I'll keep on moving It's the art of losing You call me a loser Say I'm just a user But I'll just keep on moving Cause that's the art of losing Hey ho let's go I'm gonna start a riot You don't want to fight it One two f*ck you Don't tell me what to do I don't want to be like you Can't you see it's killing me I'm my own worst enemy Knock me down I'll keep on moving It's the art of losing Wahhhooo (It's the art of losing) Wahhhooo (It's the art of losing) We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America
