Rejects Lyrics
5 Seconds of Summer
Back at school
They all thought I was an outcast, car crash
"A hopeless fool",
They said to me
And my girlfriend
Said I messed up, will I ever grow up?
In the end,
I'm not gonna
What was I thinking?
Everyone sees it
It's not a secret
That I'm just a reject
Sick of the system
Don't wanna hear it
It's not a secret
That I'm just a reject
I'm just a reject
My teacher said
I was mentally disabled, so unstable
So I'd stay in bed
All day
Save your breath,
You can talk at me but I'm not listening
If this is a test,
Then I'm probably failing
What was I thinking?
Everyone sees it
It's not a secret
That I'm just a reject
Sick of the system
Don't wanna hear it
It's not a secret
That I'm just a reject
They try to save me
But I'm too far gone
And they called me crazy
So I played along
And you wanna change me
But I'm on my own
La da da da da, la da da da duh [2x]
What was I thinking?
Everyone sees it
It's not a secret
That I'm just a reject
Sick of the system
Don't wanna hear it
It's not a secret
That I'm just a reject
I'm just a reject [2x]
They all thought I was an outcast, car crash
"A hopeless fool",
They said to me
And my girlfriend
Said I messed up, will I ever grow up?
In the end,
I'm not gonna
What was I thinking?
Everyone sees it
It's not a secret
That I'm just a reject
Sick of the system
Don't wanna hear it
It's not a secret
That I'm just a reject
I'm just a reject
My teacher said
I was mentally disabled, so unstable
So I'd stay in bed
All day
Save your breath,
You can talk at me but I'm not listening
If this is a test,
Then I'm probably failing
What was I thinking?
Everyone sees it
It's not a secret
That I'm just a reject
Sick of the system
Don't wanna hear it
It's not a secret
That I'm just a reject
They try to save me
But I'm too far gone
And they called me crazy
So I played along
And you wanna change me
But I'm on my own
La da da da da, la da da da duh [2x]
What was I thinking?
Everyone sees it
It's not a secret
That I'm just a reject
Sick of the system
Don't wanna hear it
It's not a secret
That I'm just a reject
I'm just a reject [2x]
