Owen - Just Like Them lyrics

Father's a lonely man in a crowded room Keeps to himself and he never lets anyone know It's a part of his heritage - his father was that way too And mother can't understand why he died so soon But he's still alive He's still got his mind And that's all he needs To get by Don't wonder why Don't wonder why Don't wonder why You're gonna be just like them You're gonna be just like them A boy I knew was too low to tie his own shoes We couldn't tell what was dirt and what was a bruise He's got a gun now - he's got nothing to lose You live without love for too long, it might happen to you But now he's got a home Where he's not alone And people care He knows they do He saw his picture on the evening news Don't wonder why Don't wonder why Don't wonder why You're gonna be just like them You're gonna be just like them Gonna be just like them Take a look at yourself Do you like what you see? The things that you feel aren't the things you were taught to believe You had your inoculations as a child You won't go crazy, but you'll never go wild Isn't that what you want? You wanna go wild Wild... wild! Don't wonder why Don't wonder why Don't wonder why You're gonna be just like them You're gonna be just like them Now you feel like a lonely man in a crowded room You tell me nobody really cares: well, how 'bout you? See, there's a man with his hand on the bu*ton out there He's saying, in his life nobody ever cared So why should he care? Why? Don't wonder why Don't wonder why Don't wonder why You're gonna be just like them You're gonna be just like them Gonna be just like them I'll never be just like them
