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.
