Song lyrics
[Joan Jett:]
(Yeah)
Have you ever taken flack from the bullies on attack
Cause you're different
Ha, they laugh and call you names but that ain't no badge of shame
Just cause your different
Show 'em Miley
[Miley Cyrus:]
People gonna stare, you unsettle them and scare 'em
Cause we're different
Walking down the street when you pass, they take a peek
There's something different
[Miley:] Live your life outside the box
[Joan:] Blow off all the empty talk
[Miley:] They focus on the things you're not
[Both:] Just walk your walk, yeah
[Joan Jett:]
And age is not in years, it sits between your ears
You see it different
[Miley Cyrus:]
It's fun to break the mold and see it take ahold
And now you're different too
[Miley:] Live your life outside the box
[Joan:] Blow off all the empty talk
[Miley:] They focus on the things you're not
[Both:] Just walk your walk, yeah
[Both:]
When you're walking down the block
The traffic starts and stops
Cause you ooze difference
Look, they treat you rough, but you're tough enough
And we're all different, yeah
[Miley:] Live your life outside the box
[Joan:] Blow off all the empty talk
[Miley:] They focus on the things you're not
[Both:] Just walk your walk, yeah
[Miley:] Live your life outside the box
[Joan:] Blow off all the empty talk
[Miley:] They focus on the things you're not
[Both:] Just walk your walk, yeah
[Miley Cyrus:]
Yeah!
