Why Don't You Try Being Yourself?

You're always tryin' to be someone else
Why don't you, instead, try being yourself
You don't need to be phony or please me
You don't need to provoke me or tease me

You don't need to be the guy on TV
You don't need to pretend that you are free
When in fact we all know that you are not
Freedom is something that you never got

You know we all know the truth
Everyone is watching you
It's so hard to run and hide
Inside your own broken pride

Why don't you try
Being yourself?
Why don't you try
Being yourself?
Why don't you try
Being yourself?
Why don't you try
Being yourself?

Sometimes life is hard, you know and I know
So you better find, some place you can go
Imitating the others is insane
Someone put an aerial in your brain

Now you have so many influences
And you have some many resistances
I hope you find yourself and know yourself
As much as the ones who know you so well

You know we all know the truth
Everyone is watching you
It's so hard to run and hide
Inside your own broken pride

Why don't you try
Being yourself?
Why don't you try
Being yourself?
Why don't you try
Being yourself?
Why don't you try
Being yourself?

It's hard, easy, it's hard, hard!
It's easy, hard, so hard, hard!
We're not even in the start!
It's hard hard hard hard, hard!

But we can do it, baby
We can do it now, oh, yeah
Come on, let's do it, baby
Until the end, yeah, oh, yeah

Why don't you try
Being yourself?
Why don't you try

Why don't you try

Go ahed, try

Why don't you try
Being yourself?
Go ahed, try

Go ahed, try
To be yourself!

Go ahed, try
To be yourself!
