Why Not Me?

I'm lame.

Don’t tell me where I can and can’t go,

What I can and can’t do,

Who I can and can’t be.

Someone has to go there, do that, be that.

Someone has to, why not me?

 

Don’t tell me what I can and can’t know,

It isn’t up to you

What I can and can’t see.

Somebody has to know that, see that.

Somebody has to, why not me?

 

Don’t tell me how I can and can’t think,

How I can and can’t act,

Who I am is up to me.

Someone has to think that way, act that way.

Someone has to, why not me?

 

Don’t tell me what I can’t and can’t tell you

Can and can’t show you

Can and can’t do.

Oh, somebody has to do the dishes…

Somebody has to, why not you?
