Why Am I Here?
Sometimes I feel like I don't belong
Completely out of place
Like I'm from some other planet
Or another time and space
Everybody in the world's
In on the joke except for me
I'm a stranger to myself
And even to my family
I must be from another land
Somewhere far beyond the sea It ain't nothing like New Jersey
But it's not unlike Tennessee
Where am I from?
Whеre should I be?
My purpose in this lifе
Is still a mystery to me
Why am I here?
I sure don't know
If I knew where I was meant to be
That's right where I would go
If women are from Venus
I must be the man from Mars
The alien, no, not the one
Who makes those candy bars
My baby she done left me
And I could not tell you why
Unless, of course, she thought
That it was time to say goodbye
I hope it won't be long
Before I figure out my fate
Should I stay or should I go?
I just can't seem to get it straight
Where am I from?
Where should I be?
My purpose in this life
Is still a mystery to me
Why am I here?
I sure don't know
If I knew where I was meant to be
That's right where I would go
There's got to be some reason
Got to be some rhyme
Some purpose and some meaning
For this crazy life of mine
I wanna jump into a fast black car
And drive to I don't care
Just to leave behind this feeling
That I don't belong nowhere
Tell me what I have in common
With the petty bourgeoisie
Tell me that I'm not
Some interplanetary refugee
Please tell me that you love me
That we stand on common ground
Please let me know somehow
That I should even be around
