Sarah Lightman - I Can't Be

Fit me in a box and tie me with a ribbon
Throw a dress on me and drink until the room is spinning
Can’t believe they pay to be on this merry go round
Go on and water me down and say I’m out of my mind
I can’t do this or that without committing a crime
So I smile and laugh just to hide the fact
That I’m drowning inside
Cause they’re breaking breakin breakin breaking me down
They’re breaking breakin breakin breaking me down
They’re breaking breakin breakin breaking me down
I can’t be who I’m not meant to be
What they all want to see no no
And I can’t be somebody’s property
Just a commodity with no soul
I said no...no no...no nooooo
Gotta stay in school and follow the rest
Don’t think for yourself and you’ll pass the test
Better listen to us cause we know what’s best for you
But you’re damned if you do and shamed if you don’t
Play by the rules, and keep your head low
Till you finally see it’s all a rigged reality show
They’ll keep dumbin da dumbin dumbin dumbin you down
They dumbin da dumbin dumbin you down
They’ll dumbin da dumbin dumbin you down
I can’t be who I’m not meant to be
What they all want to see no no
And I can’t be somebody’s property
Just a commodity with no soul
I said no...no no...no nooooo
Go on and shackle me up
Lock and put me away
Cause I’m not shutting up I’m here to stay
I’m not gonna change I’m not gonna change
Go on and shackle me up
Lock and put me away
Cause I’m not shutting up I’m here to stay
I’m not gonna change I’m not gonna change
I’m getting off of this ride today
Well, I can’t be who I’m not meant to be
What they all want to see no no no no
And I can’t be somebody’s property
Just a commodity with no soul
I said no...no no no
No no no no no nooooo
