They put me down for been too good
But that made me be bad
They took from me all they could
But I refuse to feel sad
They don't know what I know
They critisize what they don't understand
They don't know what I know
Its me whos got the upper hand
I wont let you rain on my parade
I will carry on and fight the fight
I wont be afraid
I wont let you rain on my parade
Its my carnival and it's a lovely day
They lock me out and say to me
That I cant play there game
But i dont care win or lose
I know iam not the same
They don't know what I know
Live and let live and just leave me alone
They don't know what I know
Let he without sin cast the first stone
You'll never get to heaven
If you put someone else through hell
All i have is dreams in a wishing well
You'll never get to heaven
You'll never see the sunshine
They say to me that should be
Shackled to society
Monkey see monkey do
But iam not the same as you
They dont know what i know
Nothing works the way they think it dose
They dont know what i know
They still believe the lie that they were told
I wont let them rain on my parade
I will carry on and fight the fight
I wont be afraid
I wont let them send me to the grave
Ive got a satisfide mind iam not a slave
Its my carnival and its a lovely day
