Songtext Let me be me Ken Hensley

Let me be me

Well, I tried to do it your way
And I tried to do it right
But no matter what I do
It seems it's different every night
And I tried to do it their way
Tried to play by all their rules
But nine times out of ten
I'd find I'm meddling with fools

There's a whole lotta people out there
Telling me what's wrong
But when it comes right down to it
I'll do what must be done

Let me be me, like black is black
And you are you
Let me be me, stop trying to
Change my point of view
Let me be free to live my life
The way I choose

Well, you don't even talk to me
All you do is dictate
You never learned to give
'Cause it's much easier to take
You wake up in the morning
And you bow to the machine
But I won't worship anything
Just because it's green

You can take your
Narrow-minded theories and run
'Cause when it comes right down to it
I'll do what must be done

Let me be me ?
