We're not gonna be just a part of their game
We're not gonna be just the victims
They're taking our dreams and they tear them apart
'Til everyone's the same

I've got no place to go
I've got nowhere to run
They'd love to watch me fall
They think they know it all

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I've gotta prove them wrong
Me against the world

It's me against the world

We won't let them change how we feel in our hearts
We're not gonna let them control us
We won't let them shove all their thoughts in our heads
And we'll never be like them

I've got no place to go
I've got nowhere to run
They'd love to watch me fall
They think they know it all

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I've gotta prove them wrong
It's me against the world

Me against the world

Now I'm sick of this waiting
So come on and take your shot
You can spit all your insults
But nothing you say's gonna change us
You can sit there and judge me
Say what you want to
We'll never let you win

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
Me against the world

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I've gotta prove them wrong
They'll never bring us down
We'll never fall in line
I'll make it on my own
Me against the world

    General Comment:I think it's about the book/film "1984" by George orwell... and it's apparently Pierre's favourite book, so I'm assuming it is...

    General Comment:Teenage life. Can't think of anything else this song could be about. You feel like everyone is against you, like they're trying to push you down, trying to make you feel like you suck. Whether we're talking about parents, the government, teachers or fellow teenagers. Although you can't say that counts for everyone; it depends on how rebellious you are, what situation you have at home and what you're dreams are.

    Song Meaning:I feel as if this is about bullies. "We're not gonna be just a part of their game We're not gonna be just the victims They're taking our dreams And they tear them apart Till everyone's the same."
    It seems directly related to bullying. The entire song is.

    BEST SONG EVER!

    General Comment:I love that song by simple plan and also it make me think a lot about myself because i always feel like an outsider and that the entire world is against me and that i've gotta show them that i am worth something and that they are wrong by thinking they know everything about me.

    Song Meaning:here's my theory in pierre's point of view:

    pierre is alone with no friends and everyone is hatin on him and bein bitches to him. so, its him against the world meaning that he is going to fight and not give up on beatin the hell out of "the world" aka everyone who hates him which is practicly everyone in the world.

    :) im so smartical!
