Not Apologizing

I've been here, I've been there

Nobody ever said life was fair

But you can still wish, right

But I know everything will be alright

I stick to my guns, I know

Even if it goes against the flow

I think I'm right, I think I'm wrong

It's the same old song

I've been down lately

Things have been tough to see

But here I am now

And I don't know how

I've taken to drinking and fighting

It's nothing too exciting

Yeah, I'm not the same

But there's no sense in shame

The world hasn't been easy

The food is expensive, the people sleazy

And there's no worse time than a Monday

I learned that all the hard way 

I'm honest like you taught me to be

And I learned America isn't so free

Destiny, or choice, life is life

And life means occasional strife

I've always been a misfit

And I'm going to say it

My dreams never came true

And it's got me blue

I never made anyone proud

I've just been dumb and loud

But I can't ever think of a thing to say

I guess I'm just that way

But this isn't an apology

That's not in my vocabulary

Because I'm not ashamed

Even if I am pained

Because I'm proud

To be noisy and loud

My dreams may not come true

But I'd die before I said sorry to you
