I stare into the screen where it seems that all I’m worth goes into

Just another day of the week, of the year, when does it end?

Right then and there I decide, this is not how I want to contend

I go on down the hall and deliver the news

I hate to go but I have to see what I can do

Too much is placed on staying with the status quo

There’s always another way, this I know

I’m doing my own thing

And I don’t want opinions

Your way is not mine

I don’t mean to be unkind

But I have to go alone

And try to follow what I know

I don’t wanna be

Livin’ out the usual biography

The life I’ve always wanted is a life that I can look back on

When I’m sixty-four and I can say, hey I did it all

For any doubters this is what I say to everyone

Where is the living if all you do is wait for something to come?

I’m doing my own thing

And I don’t want opinions

Your way is not mine

I don’t mean to be unkind

But I have to go alone

And try to follow what I know

I don’t wanna be

Livin’ out the usual biography

I look around and see the life that everyone I know has found

So satisfied with all they have, enjoying the day with peace of mind

Although at times it looks so right I know it’s not what I will find

I need a little something more, a day not knowing what’s in store

I’m doing my own thing

And I don’t want opinions

Your way is not mine

I don’t mean to be unkind

But I have to go alone

And try to follow what I know

I don’t wanna be
