Lyrics

The Man I Used To Be (On Another Day)

There are people in this world who think they?ve got it all together
They make the rules that bind us, their wisdom guides our way
I guess they?re always right and my opinion doesn?t matter
but I?d hate to go to jail just for seeing things
a different way, a different way.

Another social misfit from an abandoned expedition
No maps to mark the journey, no light to guide the way
The roads go out a million miles, out in every direction
and the ones who know the answers don?t want to give away
secrets today, so I?ll have to try
a different way.

I?ve been known to smile even when the world was ending
but when I woke this morning, my smile had gone away
My mind is breaking up somewhere beneath this cool reflection
of the man I used to be on another day.

the man that I used to be on another day (x3)

Somewhere in this labyrinth there is a path that leads to freedom
With all these other options I am sure to go astray
I could rise above this madness and try to find the right direction
But I?d hate to finally get there and have nothing to say.
