You say I throw my life away
Wasting precious time
It may seem shady
But hey at least it's mine
You'll never see it the way I do
Never hear it quite as loud
Different strokes
For a different kind of crowd
No you don't hear it the way I do
But you know that it's OK
I never do what I do to be pleasing you
So let me throw my life away
Down a road you've never known
Contempt flashig in your eyes
I'd be obliged if you tried
Not to ask me why
Wasting precious time
It may seem shady
But hey at least it's mine
You'll never see it the way I do

For a different kind of crowd
No you don't hear it the way I do
But you know that it's OK
I never do what I do to be pleasing you
So let me throw my life away
Down a road you've never known
Contempt flashig in your eyes
I'd be obliged if you tried
