lyrics

You say that I get what I want
Even when it's unfair
But I don't really care what you say
You say that I should feel so bad
For all the wrong I done
But just how do you think I get my way
You say I act like a child
And I never grew up
Well, it's written in my DNA

I can hear you call my name
And I hear you try to place the blame
And that's when I start forgetting
You want from me something more
You say I've lots to answer for
And that's when I start forgetting

You accuse me of atrocities
You say I'm a selfish pig
But I do what I must to survive
You tell me that I have no heart
That's it's always all about me
But that's how I stay alive
You tell me that I hurt you bad
That all I ever do is lie
But I can't help that I contrive

Who am I, who are you
Well I don't know
What else is new
Who am I, who are you
Well I don't know what is true

You say that I'm a son of a bitch
And I stole your stuff
And I got no one to answer to
I've lived alone all my life
With few bumps in the road
What else do you expect me to do
I'm the boy who never grew up
Just like Peter Pan
Only difference is I never flew
