You, you were always
saying things should not be said
you, you were always playing outside your head
Now the others see your peculiarity,
now the others know you’re different folk
F#m B A x2 // F#m B F#m B A G Bm(F# bass)
(chorus)
Say what your mouth needs to say
Do what your hands will make do
Say what you want to, do what you want to
too old to care or be fair
Be Mr. Soul for a day
tell off your ma and your dad
Be what you want to, behave how you want to
I will not voice a complaint
(verse2)
I, I have always wanted to lose all control
but like a marooned soldier clutching his soup bowl,
I have clung to you,
but now I peel myself //
release my wonder grip
I, I have always wanted to be a balkan horn,
and to roam at night , the city of bright lights
and to learn to fly, write trails in the sky,
i spell out one word goodbyedirt
(CHORUS)

Your hands are cold from standing still
let’s climb up telegraph hill,
tell the landlord “your tenant’s in love”
“he spent the rent on his baby’s gloves,
a box of pills and a power drill,
a 6-string and a cat with skills”
Took pills so I could work all night,
tore up the floorboards and build some height
Now if the world and I disagree
my baby and I and the cat make three
we’re walled off and we have a guitar
and no roof (no roof)
and we see the stars
Say what you want to say//
Do what you want to do//
Say what you want to say//
Do what you want to do//
