Identivacation - Jordan Klassen

I wanna be a smart man

And so I play the part

Laughing like an animal

The only one who gets the joke

I gotta tell you something

I’m shooting in the dark

Only read the prologue

Filling up the room with smoke

Honestly I only wanted to create

Someone you’d appreciate

A mystery man

A lover of the finer things

A boy who’s good at listening

I wanna be the real thing

Straight from the horses mouth

Studying my passions

Drawing up a rationale

Depends on what I’m feeling

Or what the mood allows

I was once a kid

Who was dreaming I was someone else

Honestly I only wanted to create

Someone you’d appreciate

A mystery man

A lover of the finer things

A boy who’s good at listening to you

And now I’m asking for a break

From finding out what makes me great

Give me just one holiday

Sign the dotted line

Take me with you

I wanna be a young man

And so I play the part

Frenzy in my eyes

And I’m looking for a slice of pie

I wanna be holy man

And so I play the part

Pretending I’m that I’m out

Of the period of doubt I had

I wanna be a rich man

And so I play the part

Credit to the max

Hey I got it just relax old friend

I wanna be a lost man

And so I play the part

Who could ever know?

Who could ever not outgrow their youth?
