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'v
e been trying
to be lately
All I have t
o do
Is think of me
and I have pe
ace of mind
I'm tired of
looking 'roun
d rooms
Wondering what
I've got to d
o
Or who I'm sup
posed to be
I don't want
to be anythin
g other than m
e

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
[Chorus]
I don't want
to be
Anything other
than what I'v
e been trying
to be lately
All I have t
o do
Is think of me
and I have pe
ace of mind
I'm tired of
looking 'roun

[Bridge]
Can I have eve
ryone's attent
ion please?
If you're
not like this
and that, you
're gonna have
to leave
I came
from the mount
ain
The cru
st of creation
My whole
situation-mad
e from clay to
stone
And now I'm te
lling everybod

[Chorus] (played very lightly - louder at the end)
