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

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
