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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 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 gonna 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

And them girls I’ll take a few 
Do what I wanna do
