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
