I used to think of myself as
a soldier
Holding his own against

impossible odds
Badly outnumbered and
caught in a crossfire

Of devils and gods.

All I ever wanted to be was

free
All I ever wanted to see
was within my eyes to

see
Oh, but, these days
Are just like you and me

These days
Are just like you and me.


You used to be something
I could believe in
How could you let me

forsake myself so,
You used to think of your
life as a riddle

With no answer known.

All you ever wanted to be was

free
All you ever looked for
was what was within


your sights to see
Oh, but, these days

Are just like you and me
These days
Are just like you and me

These days
Are just like you and me.


We used to live like
there was no tomorrow
Tasting our trials

a day at a time
Laughing at sorrow
and crying for justice

Such innocent crimes.

All we ever wanted to be was

free
All we ever looked for
was what was within

our eyes to see
Oh, but, these days
Are just like you and

me
These days
Are just like you and me

Just like you and me.
You know they're just like
you and me.
