Paul was a lonely man in a crowded room He keeps to himself and he never lets anyone know It's a part of his Heritage . His father was that way too His mother can't understand why he died so soon But he's still the liar He's still got his mind And that's all he needs To get by Chorus: Don't wonder why Don't wonder why Don't wonder why I'm gonna be just like them Don't wonder why Don't wonder why Don't wonder why I'm gonna be just like them I boy I knew was to low To tie his own shoes We couldn't tell what was dirt And what was a bruise But he's got a gun now He's got nothing to lose Remember that love For tomorrow it might happen to you And now he's got a home Where he's not alone And people care He knows they do He seen his picture on the evening news Chorus Take a look at yourself Do you like what you see When the things that you feel Are the things you were taught to believe You had your Inoculations as a child So you wouldn't go crazy But you'll never go wild Isn't that what you want You want to go wild Wild... Wild... And 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 a button out there He's saying in his life, nobody ever cared No one, so why should he care Why Chorus I'm gonna be just like them I'll never be just like them
