I wanna be in another place
Some other body and someone else's face
Don't wanna be in here
I need a space I can disappear
I wanna play me a different part
Another feeling in someone else's heart
Don't wanna cry out loud
Don't wanna show you I'm too damn proud

You can change the words you say
Stop the things you do
Throw away your yesterdays
You'll still be stuck with you
But don't be sad
Get a hold upon yourself before you get too far
No matter what you have to learn to live with who you are

I wanna live in a different time
Another reason in someone else's mind
I wanna change the score
I don't wanna be me no more
I wanna play in a different game
Another player in someone else's name
Don't wanna be the fool
Don't wanna show you I can lose my cool

You can stop the world you're on
Change the song you sing
Choose defection, wrong direction
That won't change a thing
But that's so good
No time to wish your life away, follow your star
Be glad of what you have my friend, be glad of who
you are.

I wanna be a different man
I wanna set me free if I can
