...THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE...
LAYLA'S WORLD
BEING IRRELEVANT BITS AND RELEVANT PIECES OF LETTERS FROM LAYLA,
WHO DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK UNLESS YOU'RE REAL AND COOOL
let me be me
stop telling me how to be
stop telling me what to do
stop trying to make me you
I don't want to live by your rules
I don't want to go to your schools
can't we just leave each other alone
can't we just accept we're different
can't we just be each others fools
accept it or let it be
stop trying to control me
stop judging all you can see
you can't stop me from being free
and that upsets you
that I'm not upset
maybe it scares you
but what I don't get
is why you keep trying
to tell me what to do
when you are not me
and I am not you
I don't want to feel all your fears
you don't hear the song my heart hears
you can't always get your way
no matter what you do or say
the world is not as it appears
accept it or let it be
stop trying to control me
stop judging all you can see
you can't stop me from being free
and that upsets you
that I'm not upset
maybe it scares you
but what I don't get
is why you keep trying
to tell me what to do
when you are not me
and I am not you
I don't want to live in your world
I see your stinger even when it's curled
you look for problems and what is wrong
I look for pleasure and getting along
there's the big difference between our songs
accept it or let it be
stop trying to control me
stop judging all you can see
you can't stop me from being free
and that upsets you
that I'm not upset
maybe it scares you
but what I don't get
is why you keep trying
to tell me what to do
when you are not me
and I am not you
