Dm                F            G
I don't wanna be just another face in the crowd
Dm                       F                G
Keeping quiet when this voice inside was meant to be loud
Dm                       F                G          Am
Sick and tired of these people trying to push us around
     C
Can someone tell me?

Why we gotta walk a certain way to fit in the mold
I’m so over trying to be someone I'm not 'cause we’re told
Sick and tired of these people and I won't be controlled
Can someone tell me?

Dm     F              G   Dm
It's time to start a riot

Chorus:
               D  F
Stay outta my way
     G        D  F
Not here to play
 G     D F
Not today
    G    D  F
So run away
                D        F
And sound the alarm (woah)
        G       D         F
'Cause here we come (woah)
 G          D        F
Sound the alarm (woah)
        G       D         F G
'Cause here we come (woah)

Never wanted to fit into someone else's machine
My ambition was a vision I had built in my dreams
Sick and tired of these people when they never believe
Can someone tell me?

Never wanted to be just another name on a stone
Break the cycle, be immortal, be a hero
Sick and tired of the typical time to let go
Can someone tell me?
It's time to start a riot

Chorus:
Stay outta my way
Not here to play
Not today
So run away
And sound the alarm (woah)
'Cause here we come (woah)
Sound the alarm (woah)
’Cause here we come (woah)

And sound the alarm (woah)
’Cause here we come (woah)
Sound the alarm (woah)
'Cause here we come (woah)
Sound the alarm...
