So you grew up in a town where everybody's all the same
Like a city full of zombies going by the same name
Saying eat this, wear that, think ya know just where it's at
When everybody's just alike, now tell me how you deal with that?

(This much is true)
So here's a finger, let me say it

There's the right way
Then there's my way
There's a highway
(If you don't like it, you can take it)
So just talk away
I don't hear a word you say
I'll be my way
(If you don't like it, you can take it)

You got the ultimate song, but you're fucking up the words
And you're fallin' from the bridge that goes straight into the verse
They're saying do this, do that, tell ya how to wear your hat
If everyone was just alike, I don't think I could deal with that

(This much is true)
So can you hear me as I'm saying

There's the right way
Then there's my way
There's a highway
(If you don't like it, you can take it)
So just talk away
I don't hear a word you say
I'll be my way
(If you don't like it, you can take it)

I don't want to
Be the one who
Does everything like I'm told to
I don't want to
Be the one who
Does everything like I'm told to

There's the right way
Then there's my way
There's a highway
(If you don't like it, you can take it)
So just talk away
I don't hear a word you say
I'll be my way
(If you don't like it, you can take it)

There's the right way
Then there's my way
There's a highway
(If you don't like it, you can take it)
So just talk away
I don't hear a word you say
I'll be my way
(If you don't like it, you can take it)

I don't want to
Be the one who
Does everything like I'm told to
I don't want to
Be the one who
Does everything like I'm told to
I don't want to
Be the one who
Does everything like I'm told to
I don't want to
Be the one who
Does everything like I'm told to

(Fade out)

    My Interpretation

    It's basically saying "I'll do it because I want to, not because you tell me to." People who think that being nonconformists is conforming will probably hate it though.
