[Verse 1: Luke]
Back at school, they all thought I was an outcast car crash
"A hopeless fool," they said to me
And my girlfriend said I'm messed up, will I ever grow up?
In the end I'm not gonna
[Chorus: All & Luke]
What was I thinking? Everyone sees it
It's not a secret that I'm just a reject
Sick of the systems, don't wanna hear it
It's not a secret that I'm just a reject
I'm just a reject
[Verse 2: Michael]
My teacher said I was mentally disabled, so unstable
So I 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
[Chorus: All]
What was I thinking? Everyone sees it
It's not a secret that I'm just a reject
Sick of the systems, don't wanna hear it
It's not a secret that I'm just a reject
[Bridge: Luke]
They try to save me but I'm too far gone
And they called me crazy so I played along
And you want to change me but I'm on my own
Da, da da, da, da, da da, da
Da, da da, da, da, da da, da
[Chorus: All]
What was I thinking? Everyone sees it
It's not a secret that I'm just a reject
Sick of the systems, don't wanna hear it
It's not a secret that I'm just a reject
[Outro: Luke]
I'm just a reject
I'm just a reject
Back at school, they all thought I was an outcast car crash
"A hopeless fool," they said to me
And my girlfriend said I'm messed up, will I ever grow up?
In the end I'm not gonna
[Chorus: All & Luke]
What was I thinking? Everyone sees it
It's not a secret that I'm just a reject
Sick of the systems, don't wanna hear it
It's not a secret that I'm just a reject
I'm just a reject
[Verse 2: Michael]
My teacher said I was mentally disabled, so unstable
So I 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 systems, 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 want to change me but I'm on my own
Da, da da, da, da, da da, da
Da, da da, da, da, da da, da
[Chorus: All]
What was I thinking? Everyone sees it
It's not a secret that I'm just a reject
Sick of the systems, don't wanna hear it
It's not a secret that I'm just a reject
[Outro: Luke]
I'm just a reject
I'm just a reject
