Ain't My Life

They Tried To tell us who to be Turn us all To mindless barbies Craving A 'picture-perfect' love But that Just don't apply to us Work hard To keep the image up Welcome To the club Who says It's gotta be this way Why listen To what it dictates I'm no girl next door I'm no prom night score I'm no plot device That Just Ain't my life Not out at the football games No Pep Rally Bonfire flames No cheerleaders calling me names Yeah, that ain't my life Not who I should be Lost in the movie screen But all I see Homecoming queens Yeah, That Ain't My Life Led us to believe What we saw on our screens "Pink and Pretty" Don't represent me Kissing in the rain Never seemed to play out the same John Hughes fantasy That just ain't for me I'm no girl next door I'm no prom night score I'm no plot device That Just Ain't my life Not out at the football games No Pep Rally Bonfire flames No cheerleaders calling me names Yeah, that ain't my life Not who I should be Lost in the movie screen But all I see Homecoming Queens Yeah, That Ain't My Life They feed us these images Displays of privilege Paint us as criminals if we rebel You say I'm the devil So I'll just dismantle What others may tell us to be These tropes are just lies They fill me with spite But I'll turn it to drive I've committed a crime because That Just Ain't My life Not out at the football games No Pep Rally Bonfire flames No cheerleaders calling me names Yeah, that ain't my life Not who I should be Lost in the movie screen But all I see Homecoming queens Yeah, That Ain't My Life
