about

This song was essentially written about my early childhood growing up in Canton, Ohio, and the experiences I had dealing with peers at school, as well as teachers, authority figures, religious folk, and even my own parents. I developed a rebellious attitude at a very early age, choosing to remain the strange, awkward, creative introverted artist rather than conform to everyone else's ideas of who I should have been at that age.

lyrics

You tell me to run like hell
The beating's comming soon
I tell you I'd rather go to hell
Than to put up with you

Tell me why I've got to bother
Tell me why I need to listen
Tell me what you've got to offer
Tell me why I ought to care

You tell me to pray like hell
The Lord is coming soon
I tell you if that were so
They're be nothing to fear

Tell me why I've got to bother
Tell me why I need to listen
Tell me what you've got to offer
Tell me why I ought to care
'Cause I'm gonna be who I wanna be!

Just who the hell do you think you are?

I'm gonna be who I wanna be!
