Thank You Lyrics

Yo, this one right here is for all the drop out-of-schoolers
The future cougars, the Mary Jane abusers
The ones that chose to be losers, for all the Misfit Kids and total outcasts MKTO
This one's for you role models

We are the ones, the ones you left behind
Don't tell us how, tell us how to live our lives
Ten million strong, we're breaking all the rules
Thank you for nothing, 'cause there's nothing left to lose

Thank you for feeding us years of lies
Thank you for the wars you left us to fight
Thank you for the world you ruined overnight
But we'll be fine, yeah, we'll be fine

Thank you for the world you broke, like yolk and it ain't no joke
So cold and there ain't no coat, just me, my friends, my folks and
We better do what we like
So raise that bird up high and when they ask you why
Just stand there laugh and smile

We are the ones, the ones you left behind
Don't tell us how, tell us how to live our lives
Ten million strong, we're breaking all the rules
Thank you for nothing, 'cause there's nothing left to lose

Na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na na (thank you)

Thank you for the times you said, "Don't make a sound"
Thanks for the ropes you used to hold us down
'Cause when I break through I'ma use them to reach the clouds
We ain't comin' down, we ain't comin' down

Look, ma, I finally made it, this world is too damn jaded
My life is just like Vegas, go big, go home get faded
Been a problem since '92
Can't shut me down curfew and them girls I'll take a few
Do what I wanna do

We are the ones, the ones you left behind
Don't tell us how, tell us how to live our lives
Ten million strong, we're breaking all the rules
Thank you for nothing, 'cause there's nothing left to lose

Na na na na (hey)
Na na na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na na

Na na na na (hey)
Na na na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na na (thank you)

Thank you from the bottom of my heart
From head to toe from the soul you ripped apart
I say, "Thank you", I say, "Thank you"
Yeah oh, thank you

We are the ones, the ones you left behind
Don' tell us how, tell us how to live our lives
Ten million strong, we're breaking all the rules
Thank you for nothing, 'cause there's nothing left to lose

We are the ones, the ones you left behind
Don't tell us how, tell us how to live our lives
Ten million strong, we're breaking all the rules
Thank you for nothing, 'cause there's nothing left to lose (thank you)

Na na na na (yo, if you don't like what they tell you to do)
Na na na na na na (don't do it)
Na na na na (if you don't want to be who they want you to be)
Na na na na na na (screw it)

Na na na na (it's your world, it's your life)
Na na na na na na (and they ruined it)
Na na na na (role models, tune in, turn up)
Na na na na na na (drop out)
