My buddy and me don’t want to be like the rest so don’t make us
My buddy and me we’re so crazy no one can take us
We take everything we do in stride
We won’t conform society don’t take our side

My buddy and me don’t care what you think you can shove it
My buddy and me have to be on our own and that’s final
Don’t try to stick us in no mold
Cause we won’t fit, no matter what we’re told

We wanna be alone
We won’t get down on our knees
And neither should you

Leave us alone
We won’t get down on our knees
And neither should you

My buddy and me we say it’s do or die we believe it
My buddy and me we’re made of good stuff won’t take shit
We gotta do what we feel is best
We think you’re confused we’re not like the rest

We wanna be alone
We won’t get down on our knees
And neither should you
Leave us alone
We won’t get down on our knees
And neither should you

My buddy and me don’t want to be like the rest so don’t make us
My buddy and me we’re so crazy no one can take us
We take everything we do in stride
We won’t conform society don’t take our side

We wanna be alone
We won’t get down on our knees
And neither should you
Leave us alone
We won’t get down on our knees
And neither should you
