Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pick apart every piece in me
And missed the point entirely
I only did this to be sane
Not for you to know my name
[Verse 2]
Go 'head and spit the music out
Please tell me more about your doubt
Don't fear I've heard it all before
Each time makes it easier to ignore
[Verse 3]
Oh, I am tired of abiding by your rules
Causing me to second guess
My every single move
You don't know who I am
Or what I have been through, no
So don't dare tell me what I should
And shouldn't do, 'cause
[Verse 4]
Not here to lose
Not here for you to choose
How who we should be
'Cause we're not part of your machine
[Verse 5]
We're not, we're not part
We're not part of your machine
We're not, we're not part
We're not part of your machine, no
[Verse 6]
Don't feel like having a computer sing this phrase
Not looking for a hired name
To write a song for me that sounds the same
As everything fed to our brains
Rammed down our throats with no complaints
Maybe I'm a dying breed
But I believe in individuality
[Verse 7]
Oh, I am tired of abiding by these rules
'Causing me to second guess
My every single move
You don't know who I am
Or what I have been through, no
So don't dare tell me what I should
And shouldn't do, 'cause
[Verse 8]
Not here to lose
Not here for you to choose
How who we should be
'Cause we're not part of your machine
[Verse 9]
We're not, we're not part
We're not part of your machine
We're not, we're not part
We're not part of your machine
[Verse 10]
Told to look and act a way
As if I'm just a ball of clay
That you can mold into whatever
I assure you that's not clever
See now fads don't last forever
They are fleeting like the weather
And we will stand our ground
While you will sink and drown
[Verse 11]
'Cause I'm a tough girl, I run my own world
And if you don't like it there's the door
If you haven't heard, I ain't got no interest
In your business, just here for the music
And there's nothing else to this bullshit
Whoa, whoa-oh, boy
[Verse 12]
Not here to lose
Not here for you to choose
How who we should be
'Cause we're not part of your machine
[Verse 13]
We're not, we're not part
We're not part of your machine
We're not, we're not part
We're not part of your machine, no
