I Don't Want To Be
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 man
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
hey hey
I don't want to be
oh
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
anything
anything other than me
(I don't want to be)
(I don't want to be)
