Fingerprints Lyrics

Voted most likely to end up on the back of a milk box drink
Looks like I'm letting 'em down
Cause seven, seventy-five isn't worth and hour of my hard work and time
When you cant afford half the shit they advertise
Oh I'm worth more then they ask more than the two-tag generation full of regret
Oh I won't settle no-oh, oh I can't settle

I wanna break the mold, wanna break the stereotype
Fist in the air I'm not going down without a fight
It's my life and I'm not sitting on the sidelines watching
It pass me by
I'm leaving you my legacy
I gotta make my mark
I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me
I'm leaving my fingerprints
I'm leaving my fingerprints
I'm leaving my fingerprints on you

Representing you and me
Don't you wanna go down in history?
Rather then end up begging on the streets
Trading under table favors for a place to sleep
Cause I'm worth more then this so stop writing prescriptions for my Ritalin
I can't focus my attention

I wanna break the mold, wanna break the stereotype
Fist in the air I'm not going down without a fight
It's my life and I'm not sitting on the sidelines watching
It pass me by
I'm leaving you my legacy
I gotta make my mark
I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me
I'm leaving my fingerprints
I'm leaving my fingerprints

Don't give up
Don't give in
Because your arms on the rock
Ohh I'm not innocent, innocent, innocent, innocent

It's my life, and I'm not sitting on the sidelines watching
It pass me by
I'm leaving you my legacy
I gotta make my mark
I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me
(I want you to remember me)
It's my life and I'm not sitting on the sidelines watching
It pass me by
I'm leaving you my legacy
I gotta make my mark
I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember me
Cause I'm leaving my fingerprints
I'm leaving my fingerprints
I'm leaving my fingerprints, in the end

This song is great! About how we're worth more than minimum wage, how LIFE is worth more! How we shouldn't settle and take what we can get; how we don't all need to be medicated and compartmentalized into little boxes... and how we're going to leave a change on the world 'in the end'.

Love it. You should too. =D

Does anyone else she sounds a LOT like hayley williams in the chorus of this song? lol anyways, this another great song by katy there's ona wrong lyric, instead of 'Effortless' it should be 'It's my life' :]

katy perry is really talented and you can tell from songs like this i think the first line "Voted most likely to end up on the back of a milk box drink Looks like I'm letting 'em down" is that people thought she would just end up "lost", the way that people's missing pictures go on the back of milk cartons (which is the name of another song on the album) but she knows who she is and what she wants in life and they're wrong

these lyrics are totally wrong, it's....

"build your house on the rocks not in the sand, in the sand..."

Not Valid

Oh ny gosh, very good song. Somehow the song sounds VERY alternative/Rock to me.. It's really good! I love how she changes her voice in her songs. Shows like many different sides of her.
