lyrics

Don’t let them change who you are
Don’t let them pick you to pieces
Hear the fear in their voices
See the fear in their hearts
All the drugs in the world
Syndromes and disorders
Will only take you away from reality

You are who you were born to be
Born to be like no one else on earth

Am I the only one here who sees you with no label
Am I the only one here who sees who you are
When did it go topsy-turvy
When did sick become healthy
When did discipline vanish and truancy rule

You are who you were born to be
Born to be like no-one else on earth

When did your parents agree to let doctors be judges
And judges let you sue your mum and dad
Am I the only one here
Or is my point of view twisted
To me life has been twisted
Then twisted some more

You are who you were born to be
Born to be like no-one else
You are who you were born to be
No-one else should change the way you are

You are who you were born to be
Born to be like no-one else on earth
