Whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa
"Stop being such a freak, nobody wants you here"
That's what they said to me
"There's something wrong with you, why don't you disappear?"
That's what they said to me
Why should we all be stereotypes?
Why don't we all just stand up and fight?
In my blood, in my veins, in my heart
I know what's right for me
So, I refuse (to apologize for who I am)
And I refuse (to ever let somebody say I can't)
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
So, I refuse (to let the words you say get to me)
And I refuse (to keep on suffering quietly)
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
So, I refuse
Whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa
So, I refuse
Whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa
"You'll never make it far, you are just a hopeless case"
That's what they said to me
"How can I make it clear? You are just a big mistake"
That's what they said to me
You don't control me, this is my life
When will you wake up and open your eyes?
In my blood, in my veins, in my heart
I know what's right for me
So, I refuse (to apologize for who I am)
And I refuse (to ever let somebody say I can't)
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
So, I refuse (to let the words you say get to me)
And I refuse (to keep on suffering quietly)
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
No matter what you think, you won't decide my fate
I can do anything, no matter what you say
'Cause in my blood, in my veins, in my heart
I know what's right for me
So, I refuse (to apologize for who I am)
And I refuse (to ever let somebody say I can't)
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
So, I refuse (to let the words you say get to me)
And I refuse (to keep on suffering quietly)
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
So, I refuse
Whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa
So, I refuse
Whoa, whoa
