Father's a lonely man in a crowded room.
He keeps to himself and he never lets anyone know.
Its a part of his heritage -
His father was that way too.
And mother cant understand why he died so soon.
But he's still alive-he's still got his mind -
And thats all he needs - to get by.
Don't wonder why. You're gonna be just like them.
A boy I knew was too low to tie his own shoes.
We couldn't tell what was dirt and what was a bruise.
He's got a gun now -
He's got nothing to lose.
(You live without love for too long, it might happen to you.)
But now he's got a home where he's not alone
And people care - he knows they do -
He saw his picture on the evening news.
Take a look at yourself, do you like what you see?
The things that you feel aren't the things you were taught to believe.
You had your inoculations as a child,
So you won't go crazy - but you'll never go wild -
Isn't that what you want? You wanna go wild...
Wild...wild.
Now you 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 the
Button out there, saying, in his life
No one ever cared - so why should he care?
Why?
Don't wonder why.
You're gonna be just like them.
Don't wonder why.
You're gonna be just like them.
I'll never be just like them.
