The Way I Am

I'm not a sinner nor a saint, I guess I'm everything you ain't
And that's supposed to mean a damn thing to me
And if you think I need advice
You'd better stop and think twice
'Cause you've mistaken me for someone who cares

Yeah, that's the way I am
And if you give me some lip
You're gonna get back some shit you know
Nobody could ever show me how
And if this country's still free
Then I will be all I'll be without advice
Without your advice

And I'm not one for fashion or the latest stupid trend
It doesn't bother me if I'm out of style
Because what I might call fun
Is to drink and shoot guns
And maybe pick on my guitar for a while

Yeah, that's the way I am
And if you give me some lip
You're gonna get back some shit you know
Nobody could ever show me how
And if this country's still free
Then I will be all I'll be without advice
Without your advice

And sometimes I wonder what it's like to be behind those beady eyes
(It's just an ego-driven temporary high)
And what makes you believe
You're so much better than the average telling lies?
(So tell your lies to someone else)
And if you share your opinions
I should warn you right now to be prepared
That I'm good with who I am and I don't give a damn
So don't waste your time, here's a dime
Go call someone, 'cause I don't fuckin' care

Yeah, that's the way I am
And if you give me some lip
You're gonna get back some shit you know
Nobody could ever show me how
And if this country's still free
Then I will be all I'll be
Yeah, that's the way I am
And if you give me some lip
You're gonna get back some shit you know
Nobody could ever show me how
And if this country's still free
Then I will be all I'll be without advice

(Yeah)
I don't need your advice
(Yeah)
I don't want your advice
So you can take your advice
(Yeah)
And stick it up your ass
