I can’t be, I can’t be
I can’t be, I keep progressing
Can’t be, can’t be
Can’t keep me, oh
Can’t keep me, oh
Can’t keep me, oh
Can’t keep me, oh
Like a script for the screen
I would fall for you
Every bit to smithereens
I would fall for you
Boundless
I won’t be yours (be yours)
In the ripples of the stream
With no mind or core (core)
I can’t be, I can’t be
I can’t be, I keep progressing
keep me
Keep me
Can’t keep me, oh
Can’t keep me, oh
Can’t keep me, oh
Give me a sign
Don’t be, don’t be, don’t be ending
Don’t be what you were, friend
Don’t be, don’t be, don’t be ending (I won’t be no effigy)
Don’t be what you were, friend
Don’t be, don’t be, don’t be ending (I won’t be no effigy)
Don’t be what you were, friend
Don’t be, don’t be, don’t be ending (I won’t be no effigy)
Don’t be what you were, friend
Don’t be, don’t be, don’t be ending (I won’t be no effigy)
Don’t be what you were, friend
