I didn't ask to be famous

But I'm not sore

'Cause you can see my face in the window of
Every store

You can buy my lunch box

You can wear my clothes
You can remember my name just
As plain as the
Face under your nose
I'm a new kid on the block

Though I may not be Johann Sebastian bach

So we may not write the songs we sing

But look at elvis he sold his soul and
You crowned him king

I didn't ask to be famous

But I'm not sad afread
You see I've got everything that
I always wished I had

I thank my manager and I thank
The screaming girls
Oh
I thank my hairdresser for giving
Me such beautiful curls

Now I'm a new kid on the block

Well I'm twenty three and they
Won't let me grow up

I went down
To register for the draft

Well I got up to the counter and the lady
There just laughed
She said you're a new kid on the block

Young girls scream and old boys mock

Well you broke my youngest daughter's heart

Well I knew you kids were trouble
From the start
You hate yeah

I didn't ask to be famous
But I'm not sure
That we're as apple pie as you
Always thought we were

I can stay up all night

And I can have a blast

I can breakdance I can fight
I can kick your sorry ass
I'm a new kid on the block

And 'though I may not be
Johann Sebastian back

Well there's no need to be afraid of us

Though it just might be your
Daughter on our bus
On a bus

I'm a new kid on the block
Step one that was fun
Though I may not be
Johann Sebastian back think
What you say think of what you do
Well there's no need to be
Afraid of us

Though it just might be your
Daughter on our bus
You think that yeah
