Lyrics

I Don't Want To Be

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

(Chorus)

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'd be somebody

I'm tired of looking â€˜round rooms wondering what I gotta 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 to notice?

I can't be the only one who's learned

(Chorus)

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'd be somebody

I'm tired of looking â€˜round rooms wondering what I gotta 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

(Chorus)

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'd be somebody

I'm tired of looking â€˜round rooms wondering what I gotta do

Or who I'm supposed to be

I don't want to be anything other than me

I don't want to be

I don't want to be

I don't want to be

I don't want to be
