What am I doing here?
For six long years I’ve been holding this post
Now I’m burning at both ends
I’ve come to terms with the fact
That you will never understand me
There’s a sadness in your eyes
But you’re still telling jokes anyway
My family’s not cultured
We’re just middle class folk
Who are blind
We can’t see past the weekend
No matter how hard I try
I am just fucking like them
I’m not punk rock or hip or deep
I’m a poor fucking redneck
And they don’t see
How much there really is out there
Just waiting for me
And I’m just waiting for them to see
I don’t need to be like you
I don’t need to be like you
I don’t need to be like you
Why do you do the things you do?
(I don’t need to be like you)
Why do you throw away everything?
(I don’t need to be like you)
Why do you need me to be?
(I don’t need to be like you)
Why can’t you just except that?
I don’t need to be like you
Or like anyone
Or like anything
I’m an extraterrestrial being
Just looking for home
I don’t need to be like you
I don’t need to be like you
