People round me
got a strong feelin'
my habits ain't good
guess I'm losin'
some good ol' respect
in this neighbourhood

Give me a break
stop complaining so loud
as long as you don't know
what y'r talkin' about

Won't be long
before y'r gonna find out
y'r local misfit's gonna be
a national breakout
Gonna prove y'r smalltown
judgement wrong
Gonna do a lil' thing
to make you feel
PROUD
PROUD

Take life by the neck

& I won't let go
entertain this mob
like fightin' a bull in a rodeo

I don't wanna be poor
I gotta have a job
But not like everybody else
on the block

Take you by surprise
stop complaining so loud
Gonna do a lil' thing
to make you feel
PROUD
PROUD

Just in time rock turns out to be a way to prove y'r not just a too far gone disconnected dopey nitwit makin' nowhere plans in the basement instead of ..... uh..
