| Well I took me a deep breath
|
| And I counted to three
|
| I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
|
| I was born into comfort
|
| I was raised by TV
|
| I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
|
| Is there cause for suspicion?
|
| Can you see what I see?
|
| I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
|
| Well, who needs education when you’ve got a degree?
|
| I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
|
| There’s a twist in the fabric
|
| There’s a knot in the wood
|
| There is no lesser evil
|
| There is no greater good
|
| Every heartbreaking lesson carries no wisdom at all
|
| And I’ve had more second chances than I care to recall
|
| And in some far-flung aggression
|
| Kids are dying for me
|
| I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
|
| We paid a high a price for freedom
|
| Still, it don’t come for free
|
| I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
|
| So I took me a deep breath
|
| I counted to three
|
| I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
|
| How about a home of the brave?
|
| How about a land of the free?
|
| I am nothing at all like I wanted to be |
