"Never Be" lyrics

"Never Be"

Someone taught you wrong, kid
You been harpin' on
About a world where only killers get ahead
You're still listenin' to that thing under your bed

Now you've made your house a home
A shelter from the storm
But no man has ever made it alone
Only the fakers and the cheats will tell you so

They say you gotta be a cutthroat
A thief
All that's so cowardly

I'll never be
I'll never be
I'll never be
I'll never be

Someone taught you wrong, kid
Done it that way so long
Got this whole thing turned upside down on its head
Still listenin' to that thing under your bed

And it won't stop until it's fed
You're a knock off
Facsimile
Imitation
A copy

I'll never be
I'll never be
I'll never be
I'll never be

Someone taught you wrong, kid
Someone taught you wrong
Someone taught you wrong, kid
Someone taught you wrong
