What if I was to say "hell no"
I'm not your soldier boy
I'd laugh as your life comes crashing down
Like the fall of Troy
You left me on a mountainside
You have no right to be surprised
Yeah, I'm gonna be somebody else
Be somebody else
The opposite of me
The opposite of me
And yeah, if you couldn't tell
I'm gonna be somebody else
The opposite of me
The opposite of me
I've always been the welcome mat
On which you wiped your feet
You never saw how torn I was
Well, now you got to see
I've finally reached the breaking point
Watch the man replace the boy
Yeah, I'm gonna be somebody else
Be somebody else
The opposite of me
The opposite of me
And yeah, if you couldn't tell
I'm gonna be somebody else
Be somebody else
The opposite of me
The opposite of me
I'll be there
Right in front of the portico
Blade ready
Vengeance on my mind
And with one thrust
I will be transmuted
From mortal to immortality (me too)
Immorality (me too)
Amorality (me too)
The opposite of me
Yeah, I'm gonna be somebody else
Be somebody else
The opposite of me
The opposite of me
And yeah, if you couldn't tell
I'm gonna be somebody else
The opposite of me
The opposite of me
The opposite of me
The opposite of me
Doo-doo-doo

Lyrics
Somebody so relatable
You feel as if they're your best friend
And when they begin to cast their spell
You wish that it would never end
That's the way I want to be
Master of the mystery
Yeah, I wanna be somebody else
Be somebody else
Someone kind of like
The opposite of me
And yeah, if you couldn't tell
I wish that I was somebody else
Someone kind of like
The opposite of me
Somebody who has peacock hair
And a robe of elven silk
And all of the dryads gather 'round
So they can say they're in the guild
That's the way I want to be
Master of the mystery
Yeah, I wanna be somebody else
Be somebody else
Someone kind of like
The opposite of me
And yeah, if you couldn't tell
I wish that I was somebody else
Someone kind of like
The opposite of me
And I'll be there
Riding up in front of the boat
With my peacock hair
Ooh, I look so good
And I'll help you
Make the transformation
From mortal to immorality
Immorality
To amorality
To the opposite of me
I wanna be somebody else
Be somebody else
Someone kind of like
The opposite of me
And yeah, if you couldn't tell
I wish that I was somebody else
Someone kind of like
The opposite of me
Doo-doo-doo
