Someone Like You Songtext
von T.S.O.L.

The kids at the school are so cruel
I swallowed enough of their rules
I stood in the games that they played
I wake up I see those kids most every day

And all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you

I loved all the bands that you named
I beat all the creeps that you blamed
I covered the grease with my hair
I got my smoke sign hanging while the public stared

And all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you

Oh, all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you

I woke up and took a bite of those revelation blues
I heard the song, I had it wrong
I sold myself for way too long


I can′t be like you
I have to face up
I've been too intellectual
Aggravation, I gotta find a bit more sexual
Dedication, no imagination
Indirectional, I found myself so ineffectual

Now all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you

Your life is a soul in high school
Your mind is a wall with no rules
I know it′s the same when you say
I wake up, I tell myself most every day

That all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you

Oh, all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you

Yeah, all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you

And all I ever wanted to do was be someone like you
