Don't want to live hard
don't want to die young
don't want to be another victim of your contagion
this is my life
this is my world
noone pulls my strings but I
I'm my own personal marionette
I dance to the tune I play
I don't struggle with the beat they repeat
the one everyone else slumbers on to
I'm not a victim
I'm not a cheat
not another slave of conformity
I am me
you can only know this if you choose to see
