My Daddy spent ten years living on the outside, looking in
She listened as her dreams silently screamed
MY own drum, my own, own, own, own
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
You gotta back it all up but can you talk the talk?
Hey, everybody, when I hear the knock
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums
Pleased to meet you
Dear world I'm pleased to meet you
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
Walk to the beat of my own drum
Oh, yeah, bring it on
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
Hey, everybody when my daddy died
Hey, everybody, when you walk the walk
Then suddenly you hear it, it's the beat of your heart
Play to the beat of my own drum
When the theater went pitch black
Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock?
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
Fly, cry, win, lose, live, die, take five
You think you've got it figured out
They drowned like little dolphins caught in a fishnet
Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock
Watched his dream walk across a silver screen
Wipe out, saunter down my street
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums, hey
I wanna hang ten high, say pleased to meet you
You know your life is about to start?
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums
Hey, did you ever get the feeling that it's really a joke?
Take to the beat of my own drum
Scream shout, hide out, win, lose
You got no sense of nothing not even a time or a place?
I wanna give to the beat of my own drum
So you say goodbye to the world
It's a wonderful idea, but it doesn't work
Hey, everybody, hey, everybody
Walk to the beat of my own drums
I wanna walk of my own drum
And he was standing there
Screw up to the beat of my own drum
Hey, every, hey every, hey every, hey everybody
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums
Can you walk the walk?
Hey, everybody when you walk the walk
Hey, everybody when you walk the walk
You cannot measure out your life to the tick of a clock
I gotta back it all up, can I talk the talk?
I wanna play to the beat of my own drum
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums
My own drum, my own beat
Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock
Hey, every, hey, everybody
I wanna sing to the beat of my own drum
Hey, everybody when I walk the walk
Hey, everybody, when I hear the knock
I wanna take it out of town and do it to my drum
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
There's someone knocking in the wall
Walk to the beat of my own drums
I wanna laugh to the beat of my own drum
Hey, everybody when I hear the knock
And for the first time in your life
Hey, everybody, when you walk the walk
Dear world, I'm pleased to meet you
Make love to my baby
I wanna live to the beat of my own drum
I wanna hang ten high, say pleased to meet you
You gotta back it all up you, can you talk the talk?
And then you find that you don't?
And now you're floating in space?
You gotta back it all, back it all, back it all, back it all up
Walk to the beat of my own drum
He thought that he would never get back, hey, get back
Make love to my baby
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drums, hey
He had a sad, sad story livin' in his eyes
