about
This song is a call to living the life you want to live. When you are fed up with pursuing what society deems “the good life” you can only look to yourself for the vision and strength to pursue your own path.
lyrics
I wanna be misunderstood
Or so my therapist says.
I wanna be living like I should
God Damn what everyone says
Or I could be living the good life
Take a trip out to the country,
then come home to the Upper East Side
Oh Lord, give me a good wife
I’ll be out working 9 to 5,
home for dinner almost every night
I wanna be forgotten
Just like Julian said
And I don’t wanna be reminded
Of the things that I did
I hopped on a plane, you’ll never see me again
But when I get off the plane I wanna be your friend
(Thought you ought to know)
That I went all the way out to Tokyo
Got a lot of nice places, but you’ll find me at Sushiro
When you go, promise me this one thing
Wherever you go, you will make it your own
