There's nothing very wrong
With being dragged along
By the rest
Clutching at their heels
Everybody feels
Lightly blessed.
There's nothing very wise
In covering my eyes
When the son of truth shows me up
I've hid behind my hair
Denied my shadows there from the start
And it's tearing my brain apart.
I don't want to be a cynic or a bore
I don't want to be a critic anymore
Don't wanna be don't wanna be don't wanna be
Ahh don't wanna be don't wanna be don't wanna be
Don't wanna be just another man who only knows what he don't wanna be
Don't wanna be just another man who only knows what he don't wanna don't wanna be.
It won't be very long
Until you're big and strong
So they said
I've come to realise that strengths in shape and not in size
So I don't wanna be a man who runs alone
I don't wanna be just flesh blood skin and bones
Don't wanna be don't wanna be don't wanna be
Ahh don't wanna be don't wanna be don't wanna feel
Don't wanna be just another man who only knows what he don't wanna be
Don't wanna be just another man who doesn't have a clue what it really means to be free
It won't be very long
It won't be very long
It won't be very long.
