In My Own Way

I'm a weak man
My life is bleak, man
I don't know how to do anything, I'm useless
I'm an idiot bound for oblivion, regretful in the ground
A whimper in society that always talks too loud
Let the weak confide in me
I'm whatever you want me to be

I'm a yes man, of acquiescence
I'm always tired and depressed with excuses
I'm an alien in a dead land of conditioning, feral and ignored
No morals, soul, or self-control, forever growing bored
And now there's no one left around
When your idols let you down
So take the first train out of town to never be found

There must be more to this, than what they say
There's only me in my own way
Little boy, defeated man
Better run while you still can

Let the weak cry foul on me
Open wide for all to see
You know you can't please everyone, nor right every wrong

You gotta find your own way
You've gotta speak up, gotta find your own way
Think for yourself, and go find your own way
And even if I'm wrong, I'll be wrong in my own way
