You hate the world and everybody's scene
Come to find that you're tearing at the seams
Now you're looking incredibly naive

You've got your drugs and your art and your girls
You've been living in a real small world
Actin' like you're better off than me

I've done my best to understand
Just listen and you'll see
You're takin' pride in all the wrong things

I don't wanna be like you
No I don't wanna be like you
I'm never gonna be like you

You're saying things that I never could've dreamed
Takin' pictures isn't really my thing
Don't wanna judge, but maybe you're just mean

Next thing you know you'll find yourself alone
Nobody answers when you're calling on the phone
Can't you see you'll end up on your own

I've done my best to understand
Just listen and you'll see
You're takin' pride in all the wrong things
All those things you do
You only do for you
I guess that's just the way you tend to think

And why should I care?
When life isn't fair
Maybe I'll just have another drink

I don't wanna be like you
No I don't wanna be like you
I'm never gonna be like you
