Michael Degenhardt Poet Lyric

I Just Want To Be

Deceivers!
All of them
Who try to hurt
Manipulate.
Users,
That’s what they do!
Losers 
To their own fate.

I just want to be
Just want to get on
Why can’t they see?
Must I now move on?

Monsters!
All of them
Who scare the energy
From our souls.
Takers!
Take’s what they do
Just so
They feel in control.

I just want to be
Just want to get on
Why can’t they see?
Must I now move on?

Today is my day, now!
Must move my own feet
Walk to my own future
Step to my own beat.
Today is my day, now!
I’m out there on the road
The users are all gone now
As the future’s now my own.
