Be yourself

Be yourself
Joey Fifer
The theme of this is to just be yourself.
Something I wish I could be yet I cannot
due to parents

The Middle (jimmy eat world)
• I chose this song because everyone is a
individual. Everyone can be themselves when
others think that you have to act different.
This song was one of the first ones I looked it
and it helps give meaning to the title of this
presentation.

lyricsIt just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right
Hey
Don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on
Just do your best
Do everything you can
Don't you worry what their bitter hearts are
going to say
It just takes some time
Hey
Don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked
down on
Just try your best
Try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when
you're away
Hey
You know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own so don't
buy in
Live right now
Just be yourself
It doesn't matter if that's good enough for someone
else

I don’t want to be (Gavin Degraw)
• This song was chosen because of individuality
just like the first song before this.
• Mainly chosen to try and help people stand up
and be who they want to be.

lyrics
I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm
coming from
[Chorus:]
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to
be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I
turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned!
[Chorus]
Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have
to leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situation-made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody
[Chorus]
I don't want to be [x4]

We’re not gonna take it (twisted
sisters)
• This song was chosen to inspire those that
listen.
• Inspire those that want to be themselves to
take a stand much like how I feel.

lyrics
OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
NO, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT
OH WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE
WE'VE GOT THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE AND
THERE AIN'T NO WAY WE'LL LOSE IT
THIS IS OUR LIFE, THIS IS OUR SONG
WE'LL FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE JUST
DON'T PICK OUR DESTINY 'CAUSE
YOU DON'T KNOW US, YOU DON'T BELONG
OH YOU'RE SO CONDESCENDING
YOUR GALL IS NEVER ENDING
WE DON'T WANT NOTHIN', NOT A THING FROM YOU
YOUR LIFE IS TRITE AND JADED
BORING AND CONFISCATED
IF THAT'S YOUR BEST, YOUR BEST WON'T DO
OH.....................
OH.....................
WE'RE RIGHT/YEAH
WE'RE FREE/YEAH
WE'LL FIGHT/YEAH
YOU'LL SEE/YEAH
NO WAY!
OH.....................
OH.....................
WE'RE RIGHT/YEAH
WE'RE FREE/YEAH
WE'LL FIGHT/YEAH
YOU'LL SEE/YEAH
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT, NO!
JUST YOU TRY AND MAKE US
COME ON
YOU'RE ALL WORTHLESS AND WEAK
NOW DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY
A PLEDGE PIN
OH YOU ON YOUR UNIFORM

You cant stop the beat (hairspray)
• This song was chosen like the one before to
inspire those that cant find any motivation.

lyrics
You can't stop an avalanche
As it races down the hill
You can try to stop the seasons, girl
But ya know you never will
And you can try to stop my dancin' feet
But I just cannot stand still
Cause the world keeps spinnin'
Round and round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til' I heard the drums
Then I found my way
Cause you can't stop the beat
Ever since this old world began
A woman found out if she shook it
She could shake up a man
And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it
The best that I can today
'Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the sky

Uprising (muse)
• This song was chosen because there are
people that uprise because of their own
beleifs that they are being suppressed by the
ones that suppress them.

lyrics
The paranoia is in bloom, the P-R
Transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs
Keep us all dumbed down and hope that
We will never see the truth around
(So come on!)
Another promise, another scene,
Another package lie to keep us trapped in greed
With all the green belts wrapped around our
minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on!)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
Interchanging mind control
Come let the revolution take its toll if you could
Flick a switch and open your third eye, you'd see
that
We should never be afraid to die
(So come on!)
Rise up and take the power back, it's time that
The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
Their time is coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
(So come on!)
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hollywood (marina and the diamonds)
• This song was well chosen due to a few of the
lines so hence the reason why I only put in a
part of the lyrics in the next slide.
• The reason why this song was chosen was due
to the fact that people would try and make
you act who you aren’t.

lyrics
• Hollywood infected your brain.
• You wanted kissing in the rain, oh, oh, ooh.
• I've been living in a movie scene
• Puking American dreams, oh, oh
• I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
• I'm obsessed with the mess that's America
• American dream is the American queen
• American queen is the American dream, is the
American dream

Its my life (Bon Jovi)
• Be who you want to be… rise up and be just
who you are…
• Reason why this was chosen.

lyrics
• It's my life
• It's now or never
• I ain't gonna live forever
• I just want to live while I'm alive
• (It's my life)
• My heart is like an open highway
• Like Frankie said
• I did it my way
• I just wanna live while I'm alive
• It's my life

Come as you are (Nirvana)
• Come to places to be who you want to be.
Break free of those that make you act
different. Come… and be yourself.

lyrics
• Come as you are, as you were
• As I want you to be
• As a friend, as a friend
• As an old enemy
• Take your time, hurry up
• The choice is yours, don't be late
• Take a rest as a friend
• As an old
• Memoria, memoria
• Memoria, memoria

The fallen (Franz Ferdinand)
• This was chosen for the people who judges
others simply on how they act. Never about
who they really are.

lyrics
• Some say you're trouble, boy
• Just because you like to destroy
• All the things that bring the idiots joy
• Well, what's wrong with a little destruction?
• And the Kunst won't talk to you
• Because you kissed St Rollox Adieu
• Because you robbed a supermarket or two
• Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco?
• Did I see you in a limousine
• Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
• Turn the rich into wine
• Walk on the mean
• For the fallen are the virtuous among us
• Walk among us
• Never judge us
• Yeah we're all...

Your number is one (Henry Rollins)
• This song was chosen for the fact that in
everyones life… there is only one you… hence
the name your number is one which dictates
that you are the only one of you everywhere.

lyrics
• he chaos that surrounds you
• the facts that astound you
• at last your number has found you
• your number is one
• I'm looking high
• I'm looking low
• I want to know therefore I go
• your number is one
