Carbon Copy

 

I know I’ll never be

All you want me to be

But I

Don’t really care ‘cause

I’m getting what I want

Out of life

 

I’m seeing all the things

I want to see

Doing all the things

I want to do

I’m saying only things

I want to say

 

I’m not trying to fit in

To all your standards or rules

Not trying to conform

To your idea of me

No way I’m going to be

Another carbon copy

 

It’s not my goal to fit in

With you and your friends

And I

Never will turn out to be

The false person you want

Out of me

 

I’m being the person

I want to be

Going all the places

I want to go

I’m thinking only things

I want to think

 

I’m not trying to fit in

To all your standards or rules

Not trying to conform

To your idea of me

No way I’m going to be

Another carbon copy
