[length: 03:29]
[00:16.82]Got a grand house out in the country.
[00:19.94]Marble pillars holding the door.
[00:23.88]Empty bottles lining the wall from the night before.
[00:31.14]Got a Roller out in the garage.
[00:34.68]But the wheels are stuck to the floor.
[00:38.45]Got no reason to go anywhere–no friends call anymore.
[00:45.44]I don’t want to be me, I don’t want to be me,
[00:51.99]I know it’s hard to see, But I don’t want to be me.
[01:02.19]Had me playing down at the palace.
[01:05.45]I was declared the belle of the ball.
[01:08.94]Made the boys take my goods and chattels away–
[01:12.81]now I’m staring at an empty hall.
[01:15.93]I don’t want to be me.
[01:18.76]Pardon me–I’m on my way.
[01:37.35]Pardon me but I’m going.
[01:40.95]Taking on the simple life and I feel the grass roots growing.
[01:48.20]I’m going to ride the ragged road–
[01:51.26]diamond spurs jangling into the sunset.
[01:54.60]No circuits running overload–Well maybe I’m not done yet.
[02:04.09]Now there’s nothing left in the cupboard
[02:07.56]and three bears’ been eating my soup.
[02:11.48]My life is one big critical mess if you take a look.
[02:18.67]And the butler’s off in Ibiza on expense account gone berserk.
[02:25.72]But I can’t check out of this crazy world
[02:30.12]without being a jerk–I don’t want to be me.
