I'm tired of being a fool   And my mind going from hot to cool   And trying to conform to others ideas   And someone else's rules      The life I'm living ain't mine   I'm supposed to feel that's fine   I didn't make the world I'm living in   And I ain't gonna toe the line      I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me   I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be   You know some people are different   Now ain't that a crying shame   Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same      And I'm not going to try to please   Eyes that just don't see   If I get myself together   You'll have the blues not me      I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me   I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be   You know some people are different   Now ain't that a crying shame   Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same      And I'm not going to try to please   Eyes that just don't see   If I get myself together   You'll have the blues not me      You'll have the blues not me
