General Public

Left Front Tire
(album: Social Icon)

Tradition puts guilt on your chest when they bring you down by the things they´ve said,
´cause you are you and the things that you do reflect on the generation set ahead.
Remember the things you are taught ´cause people look up to you.
I don´t wanna be like you, wanna be me, myself,
and I hope you see right through all the things you see on the outside.
When I come home late at night don´t lower your head ´cause everthing is all right.
I like to go out on Saturday night, hang out with my friends and do it up right.
You say we´re wrong, confused, and rebel...
say we need to find the man upstairs,
but if you could get through those condemning eyes you would find that he is right inside.
I don´t wanna be like you, wanna be me,
myself and I hope you see right through all the things you see on the outside.
I don´t wanna be like you.
