Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Head over heels, I've fit in before
Now I don't wanna do it no more
I held it all in with blood on my face
Built it up, man, so bad you can taste
[Verse 2]
I don't slag no one, I don't even judge
Don't give a shit, 'cause I'm not gonna budge
I just wanna be who I wanna be
Guess it's hard for others to see
[Chorus]
I'm not a trendy asshole
Do what I want, do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
Don't give a fuck, if it's good enough for you
'Cause I am alive
[Verse 3]
Smash is the way you feel all alone
Like an outcast, you're out on your own
Smash is the way you deal with your life
Like an outcast, you're smashin' your strife
[Verse 4]
Head over heels, I've fit in before
Now I don't wanna do it no more
I just wanna be who I wanna be
Guess it's hard for others to see
[Chorus]
I'm not a trendy asshole
Do what I want, do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
I don't give a fuck, if it's good enough for you
'Cause I am alive
[Verse 5]
Head over heels, I've fit in before
Now I don't wanna do it no more
I just wanna be who I wanna be
Guess it's hard for others to see
[Chorus]
I'm not a trendy asshole
Do what I want, do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
I don't give a fuck, if it's good enough for you
[Chorus]
I'm not a trendy asshole
Do what I want, do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
I don't give a fuck, if it's good enough for you
'Cause I am alive
I am alive, I am alive
[Outro]
There, I hope you enjoyed our time together today
You know, it seems harder and harder to just sit back and enjoy the finer things in life
Well, till next time
Ta-ta
