Lyrics

Album version What if I was to say "hell no" I'm not your soldier boy I'd laugh as your life comes crashing down Like the fall of Troy You left me on a mountainside You have no right to be surprised Yeah, I'm gonna be somebody else Be somebody else The opposite of me The opposite of me And yeah, if you couldn't tell I'm gonna be somebody else The opposite of me The opposite of me I've always been the welcome mat On which you wiped your feet You never saw how torn I was Well, now you got to see I've finally reached the breaking point Watch the man replace the boy Yeah, I'm gonna be somebody else Be somebody else The opposite of me The opposite of me And yeah, if you couldn't tell I'm gonna be somebody else Be somebody else The opposite of me The opposite of me I'll be there Right in front of the portico Blade ready Vengeance on my mind And with one thrust I will be transmuted From mortal to immortality (me too) Immorality (me too) Amorality (me too) The opposite of me Yeah, I'm gonna be somebody else Be somebody else The opposite of me The opposite of me And yeah, if you couldn't tell I'm gonna be somebody else The opposite of me The opposite of me The opposite of me The opposite of me Doo-doo-doo

Demo version Somebody so relatable You feel as if they're your best friend And when they begin to cast their spell You wish that it would never end That's the way I want to be Master of the mystery Yeah, I wanna be somebody else Be somebody else Someone kind of like The opposite of me And yeah, if you couldn't tell I wish that I was somebody else Someone kind of like The opposite of me Somebody who has peacock hair And a robe of elven silk And all of the dryads gather 'round So they can say they're in the guild That's the way I want to be Master of the mystery Yeah, I wanna be somebody else Be somebody else Someone kind of like The opposite of me And yeah, if you couldn't tell I wish that I was somebody else Someone kind of like The opposite of me And I'll be there Riding up in front of the boat With my peacock hair Ooh, I look so good And I'll help you Make the transformation From mortal to immorality Immorality To amorality To the opposite of me I wanna be somebody else Be somebody else Someone kind of like The opposite of me And yeah, if you couldn't tell I wish that I was somebody else Someone kind of like The opposite of me Doo-doo-doo
