 G                 C             D
Talk amongst the skeletons this morning
  G                 C            D
Aside from all the medicine and health
             G           C
If you could do it all again,
           D
would you do it all the same?
          G
Is there something that you'd
 C                D
tell your former self?

There were those that wished
they'd spun upon a jukebox
There were pirates who had never seen the sea
But the one recurring theme,
the one recurring dream they had
Was to be whatever they wanted to be

Chorus:
       G C        D
To be Pyotr Tchaikovsky
        G       C    D
To be free like everyone else
            G      C       D
There will be no flags to warn me
       G       C            D
'Cause I just want to be myself

Julie, telephoning by a ouija
"Is there any advice that you could give?
When you know you're not like them
Do you know La Varsovienne?
I know that I am living,
but can you show me how to live?"

Chorus:
And the Holy Roman Army
Said, "Your heart beats like everyone else"
But you don't need no flags to tell
you who you are, so say
"I just want to be myself''

lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa
lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa
lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa
lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa

Chorus:
There's an aura that surrounds thee
There's a different kind of wealth
And I don't need flags to know
you're really something
And I just love you for yourself
Oh, I just love you for yourself

lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa
lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa
lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa
