Story Behind the Song
Self encouragement, that's why I wrote this. I was in a crappy mood, sick of people's B.S. and I wrote this to cheer myself up.
Lyrics
I am not a teacher, no, I'm not even smart
What I do's what I feel, I follow what's in my heart
But what I find and what I see is senseless pain and misery
People hurting people
Justified as just the breaks
I am too a sinner, I don't claim to be no saint
But I can't take advantage of someone else in any way
While what I find and what I see in this wealthy country
Is people using people
Justified as just business
(chorus:)
Well, I'm not gonna HOOK IN Won't let it drag me down, they want fear, won't get it
I'm not gonna HOOK IN, no no no no....no no
I am not a loser but sometimes I do get beat
But I won't be defeated even though I'm goin' crazy
What I find and what I see in the glass is me
A person amongst people, striving not to justify
CHORUS
Guess I am just a dreamer, or so I have been told
'Cause I believe that I don't need someone else's mold
With all I've learned, I still get burned in heated battle scenes
But if it happens today, I will not swing and sway
