[Verse 1]
I'm changing, you don't understand
Like all the words from Kerouac
I'm standing still, even if the floor cracks
My baby you don't have to hold me anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
You know what I do when I'm alone?
You know how I dance and I cope when things go wrong?
You know how I got to where I am?
Lemme, lemme, lemme
Lemme show you how you do that

[Chorus]
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da

[Verse 2]
And you can go and do your thing
I'm cool enough tolet you breath
I feel the beat even when you're gone
I don't need to be told where I'll be when I'm old

[Pre-Chorus]
You know what I do when I'm alone?
You know how I dance and I cope when things go wrong?
You know how I got to where I am?
Lemme, lemme, lemme
Lemme show you how you do that

[Chorus]
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da

[Bridge]
I still remember who I was
A little girl without a chance
Now that I'm changing
The world I'm embracing
Baby what are you gonna do with your lady?

[Chorus]
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
I drum to the beat of my own machine
I drum da, drum da drum da
