I don't need to be anything other
|
Than a prison guard's son
|
I don't need to be anything other
|
Than a specialist's son
|
I don't have to be anyone other
|
Than the birth of two souls in one
|
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from
|
I don't want to be
|
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
|
All I have to do
|
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
|
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
|
Wondering what I've got to do
|
Or who I'm supposed to be
|
I don't want to be anything other than me
|
I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
|
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
|
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
|
Am I the only one who noticed?
|
I can't be the only one who's learned!
|
I don't want to be
|
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
|
All I have to do
|
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
|
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
|
Wondering what I've got to do
|
Or who I'm supposed to be
|
I don't want to be anything other than me
|
Can I have everyone's attention please?
|
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
|
I came from the mountain
|
The crust of creation
|
My whole situation-made from clay to stone
|
And now I'm telling everybody
|
I don't want to be
|
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
|
All I have to do
|
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
|
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
|
Wondering what I've got to do
|
Or who I'm supposed to be
|
I don't want to be anything other than me
|
I don't want to be
|
