My Way

Why don't we think about
the world more idealistically?
I'm just a man who wants to
put one foot in front of the other,
Stay alive as long as he can.
I don't need to hear that hate,
I don't understand.

Why can't I go about
my life more realistically?
I'm just a man striving to
breathe some air in
and breathe some air out
And stay alive if I can
I don't need to take that bait
I don't understand.

So I'm going to go about
My life as I planned anyway.
I'm a man who's trying to
Put some thoughts out,
and put some thoughts in.
And I will die
and turn to dust,
and it will start again.
