Well I took me a deep breath
And I counted to three,
I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
I was born into comfort,
I was raised by TV,
I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
Is there cause for suspicion?
Can you see what I see?
I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
Well, who needs education when you’ve got a degree?
I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
There’s a twist in the fabric,
There’s a knot in the wood,
There is no lesser evil,
There is no greater good
Every heartbreaking lesson carries no wisdom at all
And I’ve had more second chances than I care to recall
And in some far-flung aggression
Kids are dying for me,
I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
We paid a high a price for freedom
Still, it don’t come for free
I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
So I took me a deep breath,
I counted to three
I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
How about a home of the brave?
How about a land of the free?
I am nothing at all like I wanted to be
