I was uptight, wanna let loose

I was dreaming of bigger things

And wanna leave my own life behind

Not a yes sir, not a follower

Fit the box, fit the mold

Have a seat in the foyer,

take a number

I was lightning before the thunder

(Thunder thunder)

Thunder

Thunder, feel the thunder

Lightning and the thunder

Thunder, feel the thunder

Lightning and the thunder

Thunder

Thunder

Kids were laughing in my classes,

While I was scheming for the masses

Who do you think you are?

Dreaming 'bout being a big star

You say you're basic,

you say you're easy,

You're always riding in the back seat,

Now I'm smiling from the stage while

You were clapping in the nose bleeds

(Thunder thunder)

Thunder, feel the thunder

Lightning and the thunder

Thunder, feel the thunder

Lightning and the thunder

Thunder
