My Own Sweet Way
I grew up on the Gaza strip
A pirate and a clown
And no one in authority
Could ever grind me down
Been upside down and inside out
More cynical than sinning
And if you think you know me well
I'm only just beginning
Hey, hey... I can't stay
I'm gonna go my own sweet way
Living life from day to day
No matter what you do or say
Hey, hey, hey... my own sweet way
Society has lied to me
I grew up and believed
That men were men and never cry
Or show the way they feel
You filled me up with prejudice
And tried to waste my time
You won't get any more of me
The rest is strictly mine
Hey, hey... I can't stay
I'm gonna go my own sweet way
Living life from day to day
No matter what you do or say
Hey, hey, hey... my own sweet way
I wish I'd seen it all before
I wish I'd wondered how
To smell the rain and see the trees
I'm glad to have it now
And looking back on everything
I've undergone and known
It's funnier than words can say
And way too close to home
Hey, hey... I can't stay
I'm gonna go my own sweet way
Living life from day to day
No matter what you do or say
Hey, hey, hey... my own sweet way
A pirate and a clown
And no one in authority
Could ever grind me down
Been upside down and inside out
More cynical than sinning
And if you think you know me well
I'm only just beginning
Hey, hey... I can't stay
I'm gonna go my own sweet way
Living life from day to day
No matter what you do or say
Hey, hey, hey... my own sweet way
Society has lied to me
I grew up and believed
That men were men and never cry
Or show the way they feel
You filled me up with prejudice
And tried to waste my time
You won't get any more of me
The rest is strictly mine
Hey, hey... I can't stay
I'm gonna go my own sweet way
Living life from day to day
No matter what you do or say
Hey, hey, hey... my own sweet way
I wish I'd seen it all before
I wish I'd wondered how
To smell the rain and see the trees
I'm glad to have it now
And looking back on everything
I've undergone and known
It's funnier than words can say
And way too close to home
Hey, hey... I can't stay
I'm gonna go my own sweet way
Living life from day to day
No matter what you do or say
Hey, hey, hey... my own sweet way
