Just the Same (Gentle Giant cover) Lyrics


See me, what I am, what I was, what I'll be

Hear me, understand that I'm not what you see

Take this, take the man, middle term, common me

Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do?

Nothing more and nothing less than you

Read no thoughts I didn't think myself

Just the same as anybody else

Make me someone else, put me up on a stand

Something that I don't really want on my hands

Use me, idolize all you can understand

Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do?

Nothing more and nothing less than you

Read no thoughts I didn't think myself

Just the same as anybody else

Change it, what you think, what you thought, what you say

Look for something more than you sought yesterday

I don't want to be part of your life today

Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do

Nothing more and nothing less than you

Read no thoughts I didn't think myself

Just the same as anybody else
