This is my own drum, I'll beat it how I want.
This precious drum is all I got.
My heartfelt beat is gonna be heard, even when my heartbeat stops.
It's my own drum I'll beat it how I want.
Been telling me what's right since I was a kid,
What they say is right isn't always what is.

I didn't start living 'till this band started to play.
Sucks to work. Tour, take me away.
You say this ain't the real world, I guess I'm living your fantasy.
I'm in charge.
I'm in charge of my own destiny.
