Misunderstood

Just wanna be misunderstood

Wanna be feared in my neighborhood

Just wanna be a moody man

Say things that nobody can understand

I wanna be obscure and oblique

Inscrutable and vague

So hard to pin down

I wanna leave open mouths when I speak

Want people to cry when I put them down

I wanna be either old or young

Don't like where I've ended up or where I begun

I always feel I must get things in the can

I just can't handle it the way I am

Why am I so straight and simple

People see through me like I'm made of glass

Why can't I deepen with graying temples

Am I growing out of my class

I always feel I should be somewhere else

I feel impatient like a girl on the shelf

They say that I should live sera sera

But I am such an ordinary star

Just wanna be misunderstood
