I wanna be like no one's ever been before
And I wanna mean what no one's ever meant before
Get my hat on backwards I'll be unique
Sing like Eddie Vedder I'll be unique
I wanna be different I wanna be different
I wanna be different just like everybody else
I wanna be different I wanna be different
I wanna be different just like everybody else
I wanna go to places man has never been
And I wanna show the world what special really means
I won't drink and I won't smoke I'll be unique
Steal music from the Irish folk I'll be unique
I wanna be different I wanna be different
I wanna be different just like everybody else
I wanna be different I wanna be different
I wanna be different just like everybody else
Hey I (hey I) wanna be (wanna be) different (different)
So when do I (when do I) get to be (get to be) any different (different)?
My heart gets so lost tryin' to be unique
Well that man up there upon the cross now he's unique
I wanna be I wanna be
Hey Mahatma Gandhi, and Mother Theres'
(I wanna be) Show me how to be
(I wanna be) Show me how to be
(I wanna be) Show me, show me, show me how to be
I wanna be different I wanna be different
I wanna be different just like everybody else
I wanna be different I wanna be different
I wanna be different just like everybody else
