Actual rebellion takes a lot more courage than appearing to be rebellious." - Max Hsu (Superchick)
Hey Hey
Superchick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You might as well just let them be
They mock everything not their own
From their imaginary throne
But I won't bow down,
Even if the whole world thinks I'm crazy
[Chorus]
So put your hands in the air
If you're crazy like us
Hey hey
Hey hey, that's freedom you hear
Comin' right to your ear,
That's the sound from our bus
Hey hey
Why try to be like someone else
When you can only be yourself?
No one can sing the song you do
Be true, be legendary you
So I won't sell out,
Even if the whole world thinks I'm crazy
[Chorus]
[Repeat: x3]
Why kiss the feet of the people who kick you
When you can be anything that you want to?
[Chorus]
