[Verse 1]
Sick of being innocent
Sick of being ignorant too
I was in it for the thrill of it
'Til I started feelin' the truth

[Chorus]
Why'd you ever make me choose?
I don't wanna be like you
I thought I knew you but
I never knew you would turn us into animals
I don't wanna be like you

[Verse 2]
Realized I'm living in Hell when I was given the news
Why'd you let the evil win?
How'd you let him sell it to you?
I remember growing up, mama used to sing me the blues
And now the kids are making noise
Just because it's something to do, to do, yeah

[Extended Chorus]
Why'd you ever make me choose?
I don't wanna be like you
I thought I knew you but I never knew
You would turn us into animals
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you

[Outro]
So now I'm second guessin' real life (Ahh)
And if you left I still wouldn't feel right

The Neighbourhood

Hailing from Newbury Park, California, upstart indie band The Neighbourhood finds its influences as diverse as hip-hop (where lead vocalist Jesse Rutherford had his musical beginnings) and the classic black and white aesthetic that often dominates their music videos and outfits. The current members are Jesse, Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels (guitarists), Mikey Margott (bassist), and Brandon Fried (drummer). The Neighbourhood is often abbreviated to “The NBHD.” The band are easily recognisable by their signature upside-down house logo, which is tattooed on every band member.

With the release of the extended plays Thank You, and I’m Sorry…, the band accumulated a wide range of fandom appreciation.

Following the rising success of their hit single “Sweater Weather,” the band released their debut album in 2013 entitled I Love You. to a far wider popularity than that which preceded them. The band have also gained traction over the years by touring with artists like Travis Scott, Danny Brown, Imagine Dragons and Charli XCX.
