Let Me Be Me

Well, I tried to do it your way and I tried to do it right
But no matter what I do it seems it's different every night
And I tried to do it their way, tried to play by all their rules
But nine times out of ten I'd find I'm meddling with fools
There's a whole lotta people out there telling me what's wrong
But when it comes right down to it, I'll do what must be done

Let me be me, like black is black and you are you
Let me be me, stop trying to change my point of view
Let me be free to live my life the way I choose

Well, you don't even talk to me, all you do is dictate
You never learned to give 'cause it's much easier to take
You wake up in the morning and you bowing machine
But I won't worship anything not just because it's green
You can take your narrow-minded theories and run
'Cause when it comes right down to it
I'll do what must be done

Let me be me, like black is black and you are you
Let me be me, stop trying to change my point of view
Let me be free to live my life the way I choose

Let me be me...
