Paul was a lonely man in a crowded room 
He keeps to himself and he never lets anyone know 
It's a part of his Heritage . His father was that way too 
His mother can't understand why he died so soon 

But he's still the liar 
He's still got his mind 
And that's all he needs 
To get by 

Chorus: 
Don't wonder why 
Don't wonder why 
Don't wonder why 
I'm gonna be just like them 
Don't wonder why 
Don't wonder why 
Don't wonder why 
I'm gonna be just like them 

I boy I knew was to low 
To tie his own shoes 
We couldn't tell what was dirt 
And what was a bruise 
But he's got a gun now 
He's got nothing to lose 
Remember that love 
For tomorrow it might happen to you 
And now he's got a home 
Where he's not alone 
And people care 
He knows they do 
He seen his picture on the evening news 

Chorus 

Take a look at yourself 
Do you like what you see 
When the things that you feel 
Are the things you were taught to believe 
You had your Inoculations as a child 
So you wouldn't go crazy 
But you'll never go wild 
Isn't that what you want 
You want to go wild 
Wild......Wild........ 

And now you feel like a lonely man in a crowded room 
You tell me nobody really cares. Well, how bout you 
See there's a man with his hand on a button out there 
He's saying in his life, nobody ever cared 
No one, so why should he care 
Why 

Chorus 

I'm gonna be just like them 
I'll never be just like them
