Just Like Them

Father's a lonely man in a crowded room
He keeps to himself and he never lets anyone know
It's a part of his heritage - his father was that way too
His mother can't understand why he died so soon
But he's still alive
He's still got his mind
And that's all he needs
To get by
Chorus:
Don't wonder why
Don't wonder why
Don't wonder why
You're gonna be just like them
Don't wonder why
Don't wonder why
Don't wonder why
You're gonna be just like them
I boy I knew was too low
To tie his own shoes
He couldn't tell what was dirt
And what was a bruise
But he's got a gun now
He's got nothing to lose
If you live without love for too long
This might happen to you
And now he's got a home
Where he's not alone
And people care
He knows they do
He seen his picture on the evening news
Chorus
Take a look at yourself
Do you like what you see
When the things that you feel
Are the things you were taught to believe
You had your Inoculations as a child
So you wouldn't go crazy
But you'll never go wild
Isn't that what you want
You want to go wild
Wild . . . wild . . .
And I feel like a lonely man in a crowded room
You tell me nobody really cares, Well, how bout you?
See there's a man with his hand on a button out there
He's saying in his life, nobody ever cared
So why should he care?
Why?
Chorus
You're gonna be just like them
I'll never be just like him
