Verse 1

When I was just a kid
I dreamed about
The life I'd live
Buy fancy cars
And a new crib
And cruise around
With all my friends
All my friends

Verse 2

But I've been waking up
And realizing all those things
Look so much different
Through a screen
And that type of life
Ain't what it seems
Isn't what it seems

Pre Chorus 1

The designer bags
Are not all bad
But I'll never find
My worth in that

Chorus

I don't need
A bunch of money
Clothes and diamond rings
To be happy
'Cause all the best things
In life are free
So give me the simple things

Verse 3

People might say
There's a game you gotta play
Just play along
And you'll get paid
But I refuse to be a slave
To be a slave

Verse 4

I'm just gonna be me
Love all the weird things
On my skin
My crooked smile
My lazy grin
I'm throwing caution
To the wind
To the wind

Pre Chorus 2

'Cause what's popular
Don't always last
I'm okay with being the outcast

Chorus

I don't need
A bunch of money
Clothes and diamond rings
To be happy
'Cause all the best things
In life are free
So give me the simple

Chorus

I don't need
A bunch of money
Clothes and diamond rings
To be happy
'Cause all the best things
In life are free
So give me the simple things
