Why do you rain on my parade?
  You can't afford to be self-righteous
  You don't know my name
  I can't stand your random acts of hate
  Looks like you're on some kind of mission
  Do you just play a game?
  Anger's such a precious gift
  Don't you go and squander it
  
  So I say
  Hey now! - What a cheap way out
  Keep everything out of your sight
  Don't knock it until you've tried
  Hey now! - What a cheap way out
  I said hey now!
  I said hey now!
  
  I guess we all need attention
  And everybody begs to differ
  It makes us all the same
  So point your finger, I'm to blame
  Does it make you feel much better, big boy?
  You're a crying shame
  Anger's such a precious gift
  Don't you go and squander it
  
  So I say
  Hey now! - What a cheap way out
  Keep everything out of your sight
  Who decides what's wrong or right?
  Hey now! - What a cheap way out
  I said hey now!
  I said hey now!
  
  The cheap way out
  The cheap way out
  The cheap way out
  The cheap way out
  
  Why do you rain on my parade?
  You can't afford to be
  
  So I say
  Hey now! - What a cheap way out
  Keep everything out of your sight
  Don't knock it until you've tried
  Hey now! - What a cheap way out
  I said hey now!
  I said hey now!
  
  The cheap way out
  The cheap way out
