Let Me Be Me - Ken Hensley

Well, I tried to do it your way

And I tried to do it right

But no matter what I do

It seems it’s different every night

And I tried to do it their way

Tried to play by all their rules

But nine times out of ten

I’d find I’m meddling with fools

There’s a whole lotta people out there

Telling me what’s wrong

But when it comes right down to it

I’ll do what must be done

Let me be me, like black is black

And you are you

Let me be me, stop trying to

Change my point of view

Let me be free to live my life

The way I choose

Well, you don’t even talk to me

All you do is dictate

You never learned to give

'Cause it’s much easier to take

You wake up in the morning

And you bow to the machine

But I won’t worship anything

Just because it’s green

You can take your

Narrow-minded theories and run

'Cause when it comes right down to it

I’ll do what must be done

Let me be me
