Misunderstood Lyrics

Pete Townshend

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
