The Rest Of Us
Simple Plan(심플 플랜) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kinda being awkward socially
With the fact, with that girls
Don't lose their shit when they look at me
It's okay, it's okay
That I'm not that good at anything
And I don't hit the notes
Perfectly when I try to sing
Oh I know why I'm not alone
So turn the music up and let go
Here's to the rest of us
To all the ones that never felt they were good enough
I wanna hear it for the chased and confused
The freaks and the losers
Let's point them up
Here's to the rest of us
(The rest of us)
I'm okay, I'm okay
I don't need to be a billionaire so freaking bad!
And my trust fund hopes are looking sad
I confess, I'm a mess
I'm perfectly dysfunctional
But I don't give a damn
If you feel the same let me hear you sing
Oh I know why I'm not alone
So turn the music up and let go
Here's to the rest of us
To all the ones that never felt they were good enough
I wanna hear it for the chased and confused
The freaks and the losers
Let's point them up
Let's point them up, up, up
Here's to the rest of us
We do it better than the rich and the fabulous
I wanna hear it for the nothing to lose
With something to prove
Let's point them up
Here's to the rest of us
We don't need to apologize for anything
We're who we are
I just wanna hear you sing
Oh I know why I'm not alone
Here's to the rest of us
To all the ones that never felt they were good enough
I wanna hear it for the chased and confused
The freaks and the losers
Let's point them up
Let's point them up, up, up
Here's to the rest of us
We do it better than the rich and the fabulous
I wanna hear it for the nothing to lose
With something to prove
Let's point them up
Here's to the rest of us
The lost, the geeks, the rejects, the losers
The wrong, the freaks, the hopeless, the future
The lost, the geeks, the rejects, the losers
The wrong, the freaks, the hopeless, the future
The rest of us
The song is an anthem for those who feel like they don't measure up to society's standards. It's about being okay with not being perfect, and embracing your flaws and quirks. The song celebrates those who are often overlooked or labeled as "different," such as the "freaks and losers" and the "chased and confused."
The first stanza acknowledges that the singer is not great at anything, and even struggles with social interactions. However, the singer finds comfort in the fact that many others feel the same way, and suggests that they turn up the music and let go of their insecurities.
The chorus is a rallying cry for those who have been made to feel inferior to stand up and be proud of who they are. The second stanza touches on the idea that success and wealth are not the only markers of worth, and that being dysfunctional or messy is okay.
The bridge repeats the sentiment that there is no need to apologize for who you are, and that the singer just wants to hear others sing and celebrate their individuality.
The song ultimately celebrates the "rest of us" – the misfits and outcasts – and encourages them to embrace their differences and stand tall.

I don't need to be a billionaire so freaking bad!
I don't aspire to be super rich, I'm content with what I have
And my trust fund hopes are looking sad
I don't come from a wealthy family and I don't expect to inherit much either
I confess, I'm a mess
I admit that I'm not always put together and I have my issues
I'm perfectly dysfunctional
I embrace my quirks and imperfections
But I don't give a damn
I don't care if others judge me for who I am

We do it better than the rich and the fabulous
We may not have wealth and fame, but we are still successful in our own right
I wanna hear it for the nothing to lose
Let's acknowledge those of us who feel like they have nothing to lose
With something to prove
Despite having nothing, we still have the will to succeed
We don't need to apologize for anything
We don't owe anyone an explanation for who we are
We're who we are
We are unique and special in our own way
The lost, the geeks, the rejects, the losers
Let's include everyone, regardless of their background or interests
The wrong, the freaks, the hopeless, the future
We may feel like misfits, but we are the ones who will shape the future

I'm okay, I'm okay,
Kinda being awkward socially
With the fact that the girls
Don't lose their shit when they look at me
It's okay, it's okay,
That I'm not that good at anything
And I don't hit the notes perfectly
When I try to sing
Oh-oh I know I am not alone
So turn the music up and let go
Here's to the rest of us
To all the ones that never felt they were good enough
I wanna hear it for the dazed and confused
The freaks and the losers
Let's put 'em up
Here's to the rest of us
The rest of us
I'm okay, I'm okay
I don't need to be a billionaire
(So freaking bad!)
And my trust fund hopes are looking sad
I confess, I'm a mess
I'm perfectly dysfunctional
But I don't give a damn
If you feel the same
Let me hear you sing
Oh-oh I know I am not alone
So turn the music up and let go
Here's to the rest of us
To all the ones that never felt they were good enough
I wanna hear it for the dazed and confused
The freaks and the losers
Let's put 'em up
Let's put 'em up-up-up
Here's to the rest of us
We do it better than the rich and the fabulous
I wanna hear it for the nothing to lose
With something to prove
Let's put 'em up
Here's to the rest of us
We don't need to apologize for anything
Oh-oh, oh-oh
We're who we are
I just wanna hear you sing
Oh-oh I know I am not alone
Here's to the rest of us
To all the ones that never felt they were good enough
I wanna hear it for the dazed and confused
The freaks and the losers

Let's put 'em up-up-up
Here's to the rest of us
We do it better than the rich and the fabulous
I wanna hear it for the nothing to lose
