넌 나빠 딱 봐도 티가 나
틀려 툭하면 튀잖아
절대로 튀지 말라고
말해줬을텐데
왜 나빠 너보다 잘해서
틀려 똑같지 않아서
멋대로 손가락질은
말라고 말했을텐데

I Don’t Care, I Don’t Care
너나 따라해 따라해
하나같이 똑같아보여
Oh 지겨워 지겨워

재미없게 왜이래 왜이래
새장 속의 새처럼
Oh 너를 안에 가둬두지마
어서 일어나

Ready 끝내주게 Action!
Ready 쓰러지게 Action!
Oh 눈치 볼거 없잖아
빛이 나고 있잖아

Ready 끝내주는 Showtime!
Ready 너만의 Showtime!
세상이 놀라게
니가 누군지 널 보여줘

넌 나빠 멋대로 하잖아
틀려 될대로 가잖아
절대로 튀지 말라고
말해줬을텐데

왜 나빠 멋을 좀 알아서
틀려 겁내지 않아서
허! 내게 손가락질은
말라고 말했을텐데

I Don’t Care, I Don’t Care
너나 따라해 따라해
하나같이 똑같아보여
Oh 지겨워 지겨워

재미없게 왜이래 왜이래
새장 속의 새처럼
Oh 너를 안에 가둬두지마
어서 일어나

Ready 끝내주게 Action!
Ready 쓰러지게 Action!
Oh 눈치 볼거 없잖아
빛이 나고 있잖아

Ready 끝내주는 Showtime!
Ready 너만의 Showtime!
세상이 놀라게
니가 누군지 널 보여줘

니 이름을 외치고 있잖아
세상이 기다린 건 너라고

Lights, Camera, Action
내게 포기하라 했던
뻔한 System안에 외쳐
The World Is Mine (Not Yours)
꼭두각시 같이 살지 않아
모두가 따라가는
길은 내게 맞지 않아

And it goes, 1, 2, 3, action,
this ain’t a movie
i’m coming out 100% raw,
the true, the real me
Victim of conformity,
pressed down on all fours
Stand up, fight back,
the world it’s yours

Ready 끝내주게 Action!
Ready 쓰러지게 Action!
Oh 눈치 볼거 없잖아
빛이 나고 있잖아

Ready 끝내주는 Showtime!
Ready 너만의 Showtime!
세상이 놀라게
니가 누군지 널 보여줘

“You’re bad, just one glance and I can tell
You’re wrong, you stand out so easily
I think I told you
To never stand out”
Why am I bad, because I’m better than you?
Because I’m different, because I’m not the same?
I think I told you
To not point fingers at me

I Don’t Care, I Don’t Care,
Why don’t you follow them?
You all look exactly the same,
Oh I’m sick of it, sick of it

It’s no fun, why are you doing this
Like a bird trapped in a cage?
Oh don’t trap yourself inside,
Hurry and get up

Ready, incredible Action!
Ready, amazing Action!
Oh there’s no need to care about others,
You are shining

Ready, incredible Showtime!
Ready, your own showtime!
Show who
You are so the world can be amazed

“You’re bad, you do whatever you want
You’re wrong, you just go with the glow
I think I told you
To never stand out”

Why am I bad, because I know what’s good?
Because I’m different, because I’m not scared?
Huh! I think I told you
To not point fingers at me

I Don’t Care, I Don’t Care,
Why don’t you follow them?
You all look exactly the same,
Oh I’m sick of it, sick of it

It’s no fun, why are you doing this
Like a bird trapped in a cage?
Oh don’t trap yourself inside,
Hurry and get up

Ready, incredible Action!
Ready, amazing Action!
Oh there’s no need to care about others,
You are shining

Ready, incredible Showtime!
Ready, your own showtime!
Show who
You are so the world can be amazed

You are shouting out your name
What the world is waiting for is you

Lights, Camera, Action
I shout out to the
Typical system that told me to give up
The World Is Mine (Not Yours)
I don’t
Go well with
Being a puppet

And it goes, 1, 2, 3, action,
This ain’t a movie
I’m coming out 100% raw,
The true, the real me
Victim of conformity,
Pressed down on all fours
Stand up, fight back,
The world it’s yours

Ready, incredible Action!
Ready, amazing Action!
Oh there’s no need to care about others,
You are shining

Ready, incredible Showtime!
Ready, your own showtime!
Show who
You are so the world can be amazed
