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
[Chorus:]
I don´t wanna 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 deadly crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can´t be the only one who´s learned!
[Chorus]
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 dust stone
And now I´m telling everybody
[Chorus]
I don´t wanna be [x4]
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 wanna 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 deadly crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can´t be the only one who´s learned!
[Chorus]
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 dust stone
And now I´m telling everybody
[Chorus]
I don´t wanna be [x4]
