===Sonic Adventure version===
::OOOOOOOh, yeah!
::Well, I don't show off, don't criticize
::I'm just livin' by my own feelings
::And I won't give in, won't compromise
::I just only have a steadfast heart of gold
::I don't know why, I can't leave though it might be tough
::But I ain't out of control, just livin' by my word
::Don't ask me why, I don't need a reason
::I got my way, my own way
::It doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight
::There is no way I will run away from all of my frights
::Long as the voice inside me says go, I will always keep on running
::There is no way to stop me from going to the very top
::It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right
::Well, I won't look back, I don't need to
::Time won't wait and I got so much to do
::Where do I stop, it's all a blur and so unclear
::Well, I don't know but I can't be wrong
::This fight is not for anybody, this is purely for myself
::There is no way I'm gonna give up 'til the very end
::I can't tell what is wrong and what is right, I've got to find the answer
::But until I do, there's no way I will ever give up
::Place all your bets on the one you think is right
::It doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight
::There is no way I will run away from all of my frights
::Long as the voice inside me says go, I will always keep on running
::There is no way to stop me from going to the very top
::It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right

Oh yeah
All right
Well, I don't show off, don't criticize
I'm just livin' by my own feelings
And I won't give in, won't compromise
'Cuz I only have a steadfast heart of gold
I don't know why, I can't leave though it might be tough
But I ain't out of control, just livin' by my word
Don't ask me why, I don't need a reason
I got my way, my own way
It doesn't matter
Now what happens, I will never give up the fight
Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight
It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right
Well I don't look back, I don't need to
Time won't wait and I got so much to do
Where do I stop now, it's all a blur and so unclear
Well, I don't know but I can't be wrong
It doesn't matter now what happens, I will never give up the fight 
Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight
Its all your bets on what you think is right
Oh, it doesn't matter now what happens, I will never give up the fight
Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight
It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right
No, no no no
It doesn't matter!
