Lyrics - Misunderstood by Townshend Pete

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
Insco 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
