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 who noticed?
I can't be the only 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 your 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
Tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
I don't want to be
Anything other than me
I don't want to be
I don't want to be anything
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
