I Dont Want to Be Me — текст песни (Jethro Tull)

Got a grand house out in the country.

Marble pillars holding the door.

Empty bottles lining the wall from the night before.

Got a roller out in the garage.

But the wheels are stuck to the floor.

Got no reason to go anywhere--no friends call anymore.

I dont want to be me, I dont want to be me,



I know its hard to see, but I dont want to be me.

Had me playing down at the palace.

I was declared the belle of the ball.

Made the boys take my goods and chattels away--

Now Im staring at an empty hall.

I dont want to be me.



Pardon me--im on my way.

Pardon me but Im going.

Taking on the simple life and I feel the grass roots growing.

Im going to ride the ragged road--

Diamond spurs jangling into the sunset.

No circuits running overload--well maybe Im not done yet.



Now theres nothing left in the cupboard

And three bears been eating my soup.

My life is one big critical mess if you take a look.

And the butlers off in ibiza on expense account gone berserk.

But I cant check out of this crazy world

Without being a jerk--i dont want to be me.
