Stop Bein' You - Walter Egan

You are an effect

Lookin' for a cause

Hoping for respect

Or maybe just applause

You’re a refugee

Washed up on foreign soil

Who’re you gonna be

A peasant or a royal

You can hold your breath

‘Til your face turns blue

But you can’t escape what’s true

You can fool some eyes

In your new disguise

But you’ll never stop being you

Life is just a trip

Be careful not to fall

With a single slip

You may lose it all

You can try new clothes

Or try on those new shoes

But don’t you suppose

You’ll ever shed these blues

You can hold your breath

‘Til your face turns blue

But you can’t escape what’s true

You can fool some eyes

In your new disguise

But you’ll never stop being you

No you just can’t quit

Or get out of it

And no matter what you do

You can never stop being you

You can hold your breath

‘Til your face turns blue

But you can’t escape what’s true

You can fool some eyes

In your new disguise

But you’ll never stop being you
