Just a young gun with the quick fuse
I am a young person who can get extremely angry quickly

I was uptight, wanna let loose
I was too nervous and stressed out and wanted to relax and be more carefree

I was dreaming of bigger things
I had ambitions that were beyond what I currently had or could achieve

And wanna leave my own life behind
I wanted to start a new life and leave behind the one I had been living

Not a yes sir, not a follower
I was not someone who just unquestioningly said yes to authority figures or followed what others were doing

Fit the box, fit the mold
I didn't conform to society's expectations or fit a typical stereotype

Have a seat in the foyer, take a number
I was told to wait in a waiting area and be patient

I was lightning before the thunder
I moved quickly and was powerful before people noticed my impact

Thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder

Thunder, thun', thunder
The sound of thunder

Thun-thun-thunder, thunder, thunder
The continuous sound of thunder

Thunder, feel the thunder
Experience the power of thunder

Lightning then the thunder
The sound of thunder that follows a bolt of lightning

Thunder, feel the thunder
Experience the power of thunder

Lightning then the thunder
The sound of thunder that follows a bolt of lightning

Thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder

Kids were laughing in my classes
Children were making fun of me while I was in school

While I was scheming for the masses
While I was making plans that would appeal to a large group of people

Who do you think you are?
Why do you think you're so special?

Dreaming 'bout being a big star
Hoping to become a famous celebrity

They say you're basic, they say you're easy
They think you lack originality or are not challenging

You're always riding in the back seat
You are not in control or leading anything

Now I'm smiling from the stage while
Now I'm happy and successful, performing on stage while

You were clapping in the nose bleeds
You were sitting in the cheap seats far away from the action

Thunder, feel the thunder
Experience the power of thunder

Lightning then the thunder
The sound of thunder that follows a bolt of lightning

Thunder, feel the thunder
Experience the power of thunder

Lightning then the thunder
The sound of thunder that follows a bolt of lightning

Thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder

Thunder, feel the thunder
Experience the power of thunder

Lightning then the thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder that follows a bolt of lightning

Thunder, feel the thunder
Experience the power of thunder

Lightning then the thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder that follows a bolt of lightning

Thunder, feel the thunder
Experience the power of thunder

Lightning then the thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder that follows a bolt of lightning

Thunder, feel the thunder
Experience the power of thunder

Lightning then the thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder that follows a bolt of lightning

Thunder, thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder

Thun-thun-thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder

Thunder, thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder

Thun-thun-thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder

Thunder, thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder

Thun-thun-thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder

Thunder, thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder

Thun-thun-thunder, thunder
The sound of thunder
