I'm not perfect, I'm just who I am
Is that okay
Perfect's overdone and over planned
In the modern age
Still you say you know what's best
I disagree but I know less
So then that leads us back where we began
Your way
And if you were me you'd do
Everything you wanted to
Well, I've got news for you
Everybody loves to tell me
Who and what to be
More of what they always want
And less and less of me
Well, I don't give a damn
What they all say
I'm not here to save the day
I may lose it but I'll do it my way
Friends and teachers
Heads of state and fools all say
Lay it down and play it by the rules
Their way
But they all know so well
Why can no one ever tell
And they ask why we rebel
Everybody loves to tell me
Who and what to be
More of what they always want
And less and less of me
Well, I don't give a damn
What they all say
I'm not here to save the day
I may lose it but I'll do it my way
Everybody wants to prove to the world
They got it figured out
Be somebody with the nerve to admit it
When it's all in doubt
In the end it's not pretend
It's what the world's about
Everybody loves to tell me
Who and what to be
More of what they always want
And less and less of me
Well, I don't give a damn
What they all say
I'm not here to save the day
I may lose it but I'll do it my way
Everybody loves to tell me
Who and what to be
More of what they always want
And less and less of me
Well, I don't give a damn
What they all say
I'm not here to save the day
I may lose it but I'll do it my way
