Was an honest man

They asked me for the phone

They tried to take control

Oh, I don't see it that way

I don't see it that way



Oh, we shared some ideas

All obsessed with fame

Says we're all the same

Oh, I don't see it that way

I don't see it that way



raised in carolina

I'm not like that

Trying to remind her

When we go back



I miss the last bus, I take the next train

I try but you see it's hard to explain

I say the right thing but act the wrong way

I like it right here but I cannot stay

I watch the TV, forget what I'm told

Well, I am too young, and they are too old

The joke is on you, this place is a zoo

you right its true



As if she can't decide

I shake my head to say

Everything's just great

Oh, I just can't remember

I just can't remember

Oh, man, can't you see I'm nervous so please

Pretend to be nice but I can be mean

I miss the last bus, you take the next train

I try but you see it's hard to explain
