I Don't Wanna Be Like You Lyrics - Objection Overruled - Accept

Heaven knows 

Heaven knows I tried 

To be like you 

To be a part of the tribe 

I'd rather leave it all behind 

But that's alright 

I'm not your average type 

No Mr. Clean, hey, 

I want to be me 

Can't you see 

I'm the exception to the rule 

I know what I want 

And I know I'm gonna get it 

That's is why 

I'm the exception to the rule 

Don't push me too far 

The way I am is just because 

I don't want to be like you 

I don't want to be like you 

The walls can be shaking 

The earth could be quaking 

I still don't want to be like you 

I'm hog-tied 'n' dirty 

I'm tough and mean 

Keep your Wall Street slickers 

And the American dream 

You've done me over and over 

You've tried to tie me down 

Why don't you step out of the shadows 

Dare to roll the dice 

Let it roll 

And don't you push me around 

Can't you see 

I'm the exception to the rule 

I know what I want 

And I know I'm gonna get it 

That's is why 

I'm the exception to the rule 

Don't push me too far 

The way I am is just because 

I don't want to be like you 

I don't want to be like you, never ever! 

The walls can be shaking 

The earth could be quaking 

But I still don't want to be like you 

The ordinary way of life ain't for me 

I do what I want and I want to be free 

Never know, where I go or what I'm gonna do 

Why can't you see 

The only thing I know is that 

I don't want to be like you 

I don't want to be like you 

If the oceans turn to desert 

Hell can turn to ice 

But I still don't want to be like you 

I don't want to be like you 

I don't want to be like you, no way! 

The walls can be shaking 

The earth could be quaking 

But I still don't want to be like, you!
