Sick of being innocent
Sick of being ignorant too
I was in it for the thrill of it
Till I started feeling the truth

Why'd you ever make me choose?
I don't wanna be like you
I thought I knew you
but I never knew you would turn us into animals
I don't wanna be like you

Realize I was living in hell
when I was given the news
Why'd you let the evil in?
How'd you let them sell it to you?
I remember growing up
mama used to sing me the blues
And all the kids were making noise
just because it's something to do, to do, yeah

Why'd you ever make me choose?
I don't wanna be like you
I thought I knew you, but I never knew
you would turn us into animals
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you

So now I'm second guessing real life
And if you left I still wouldn't feel right
