Very old unreleased song finally recorded and released.

lyrics

Verse 1:
I don’t wanna be your every desire
I don’t wanna be what keeps you alive no more
I no longer wanna be admired
I want you to knock on someone else’s door

Chorus:
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
What you say holds you back no more
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
A victim no more
Kinda wanna be
Kinda wanna be
Kinda wanna be
Living for my baby and me
Kinda wanna be
Kinda wanna be
Kinda wanna be
One who only has to read about slavery

Verse 2:
You said
How’m I suppose to get ahead with you just hangin
can’t you see I’m askin you the same thing
I just wanna live a little for myself now
Believe me I don’t have a single doubt

Chorus:
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
What you say holds you back no more
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
A victim no more
Kinda wanna be
Kinda wanna be
Kinda wanna be
Living for my baby and me
Kinda wanna be
Kinda wanna be
Kinda wanna be
One who only has to read about slavery

Bridge:
Why must you always, always
Here comes your arrogance again
Why must you always, always
Here comes your ignorance again
Why must you always, always
Here comes your lying ass again
Why must you always, always
Here it comes now, but I don’t care now


Chorus:
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
What you say holds you back no more
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
A victim no more
Kinda wanna be
Kinda wanna be
Kinda wanna be
Living for my baby and me
Kinda wanna be
Kinda wanna be
Kinda wanna be
One who only has to read about slavery

about

Bradley Voorhees East Syracuse, New York

Who doesn't enjoy an interesting indie artist? Am I good, am I bad? Who knows. Guess we'll all have to wait and see. Yes, "we" 'cause not even I know myself anymore. I think that really comes out in the tunes though. Who knows, perhaps it may be you who can help solve a mystery? Yeah, I like a lot of retro television :D But I'll be there for you, if you're there for me too! Ha ... more
