Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - A Night In Tunisia

you said i can't be here anymore
i can't be around all these people
who all my life have tried to change me
if they could rearrange these
thoughts that drive me crazy

and i can't hide who i am
it's just so hard to be around everyone
when they're so narrow minded
and i'm not the one who hides it
it's just they're so blinded

so i'm leaving the country
and when i come back
you may not accept me
but i will be happy
for the first time
in my whole life
