Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some of us are wild ones
Ever under wanted, I believe
Linin' up in the background
Waitin' for the crowd shot, to be seen
In the shadow of the big screen
Everybody begs to be redeemed
[Verse 2]
Hey, I'm not
Synthetica
I'll keep the life
That I've got
[Verse 3]
We were never meant to
Crawl in for the bait, we never will
I can think for myself, I've
Got somethin' no pill could ever kill
[Verse 4]
Hey, I'm not
Synthetica
Oh, oh, oh
I'll keep the life
That I've got
Oh, oh, oh
So hard, hard to resist
Synthetica
Oh, oh, oh
No drug is stronger than me
Synthetica
[Verse 5]
We're all the time confined
To fit the mold
But I won't ever let them make
A loser of my soul
[Verse 6]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
Oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
Oh
Oh
[Verse 7]
Hey, I'm not
Synthetica
Oh, oh, oh
I'll keep the life
That I've got
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 8]
I'll keep the life
That I've got
I'll keep the life
That I've got
I'll keep the life
That I've got
