Pete Townshend Misunderstood
Just wanna be misunderstood Wanna be feared in my neighborhood Just wanna be a moody man Say things that nobody can understand I want to be obscure and oblique Insc o hard to pin down I wanna leave open mouths when I speak Want people to cry when I put them down Don't wanna be either old and young Don't like where I ended up or where I begun I always feel I must put things in the can I just can't handle the way I am Why am I so straight and simple People see through me like I'm made of glass Why can't I deepen with grey and pimples? Am I growing out of my class? I always feel I should be somewhere else I grow impatient like a doll on a shelf They say that I should live "sera, sera" But I am such an ordinary star Coolwalking smoothtalking straightsmoking firestoking Coolwalking smoothtalking straightsmoking firestoking Yeah Just wanna be misunderstood Wanna be feared in my neighborhood Just wanna be a moody man Say things that nobody can understand
