What I Wanna Be Lyrics by Morning Assembly

Latecomers

2020

[Verse 1]
Every day I hear the same
All I am is a disgrace
I'm sick of all the things that people say
It's driving me insane
They're telling me what to do
All of them just wanna prove
All the messed up things that they believe
Mean I've got nothing to prove
[Pre-Chorus]
Sticks and stones and monochrome tones
They won't get me down
'Cuz I believe that you and me
We're never going down
[Chorus]
People talk, pеople say
But they'll nevеr take away
I know what I wanna be
They won't take that away from me
People talk, people say
I will prove them wrong one day
I know what I wanna be
That's the way it's gonna be, yea
[Verse 2]
They tell me that I won't improve
They say I've got a screw come loose
I'm tired of being told to choose
What's right or wrong or good
I know the journey will be rough
But I know deep down I'm pretty tough
If I get knocked down no I won't frown
Soon I'll be the one with the crown
[Pre-Chorus]
Sticks and stones and monochrome tones
They won't get me down
'Cuz I believe that you and me
We're never going down
[Chorus]
People talk, people say
But they'll never take away
I know what I wanna be
They won't take that away from me
People talk, people say
I will prove them wrong one day
I know what I wanna be
That's the way it's gonna be, yea
*GUITAR SOLO*
[Chorus]
People talk, people say
But they'll never take away
I know what I wanna be
They won't take that away from me
People talk, people say
But they'll never take away
I know what I wanna be
They won't take that away from me
People talk, people say
I will prove them wrong one day
I know what I wanna be
That's the way it's gonna be, yea
