Story Behind The Song

Tired of hearing people saying crap they don't believe, but they don't want to offend anyone or disagree on anything so they 'kiss alot of ass'...

Song Description

About people not being up front - peer pressure..saying things they don't mean just to fit in or go along... Me saying what I feel - but it bites you in the butt sometimes...as in "brutally honest", but - I say 'tell it like it is'.

Lyrics

'Good @ Being Me' © Mark S. Ludes (MSL)

V.1
Some people have a problem - with simple honesty.
Some people only hear - just what they want to hear.
They try so hard to be that everything to everyone.
And they change their mind just to agree, not too sincere.

V.2
I find I seem to be some one, that tells it like it is.
I don't believe in kissin' ass to gain an upper hand.
(Sometimes it gets me into lots of trouble), I don't score a lot of points.
But I feel that in the long run, most will understand.

Chorus:
Some people try so hard, to be somebody else.
Spend too much time trying to please, everybody else.
I take a lot of heat, but I say what 'I' believe.
I guess I'm pretty good at being me.

Break:

V.3
I listen to my friends when they are talking with someone.
I hear them sayin' things I know they really don't believe.
(They seem afraid to speak their mind and say) just, what they really think.
- It's like a bunch of lip-sync - they all nodd just to agree.

Chorus:
Some people try so hard, to be somebody else.
Spend too much time to trying to please, everybody else.
I take a lot of heat, but I say what 'I' believe.
At least I'm pretty good at being me.
2nd time just instr.
3rd time w/vox again - 'So much for being good at being me'.....
