Verse

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

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 situtaion-made from clay to stone

And now I'm telling everybody

Chorus

(played very lightly - louder at the end)

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

I don't want to be

I don't want to be

anything other than
