[Verse 1]
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 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
[Verse 2]
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'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
[Bridge]
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 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
[Outro]
I don't want to be
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah
I don't want to be
Oh, oh
I don't want to be
I don't want to be anything, anything other than me
[Outro]
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah) I don't want to be
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah) I don't want to be
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah) I don't want to be
