Someone Like You

The kids at the school are so cruel

I swallowed enough of their rules

I stood in the games that they played

I wake up I see those kids most every day

And all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you

I loved all the bands that you named

I beat all the creeps that you blamed

I covered the grease with my hair

I got my smoke sign hanging while the public stared

And all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you

Oh, all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you

I woke up and took a bite of those revelation blues

I heard the song, I had it wrong

I sold myself for way too long

I can't be like you

I have to face up

I've been too intellectual

Aggravation, I gotta find a bit more sexual

Dedication, no imagination

Indirectional, I found myself so ineffectual

Now all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you

Your life is a soul in high school

Your mind is a wall with no rules

I know it's the same when you say

I wake up, I tell myself most every day

That all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you

Oh, all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you

Yeah, all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you

And all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you
