I always want to create something great That’s what defines me That’s the choice that I make But lately, everything’s feeling strange I found so much fire Still I’m burning with shame Are my decisions mine, or were they made for me? [chorus] Oh, great minds think alike People labor day and night Why can’t I be like them too? Oh, great minds of my time Please illuminate the climb So I don’t crumble getting there .. Am I comparing myself to the right minds? Are they truly happy And fulfilled in their lives? Should I care about these things? Or should I get back to work And make something that sings? Are my decisions mine, or were they made for me? [chorus] Oh, great minds think alike People labor day and night Why can’t I be like them too? Oh, great minds of my time Please illuminate the climb So I don’t crumble getting there ... Are my decisions mine, or were they made for me? Have I learned who I am from hating what I see? It’s always this mirror And this picture I want to be great I compare myself To what I can’t be Because that’s what I crave It’s always this mirror And this picture I want to be great I compare myself To what I can’t be Because that’s what I crave It’s always this fucking mirror proving me wrong It’s always this fucking mirror proving me wrong [chorus] Oh, great minds think alike People labor day and night Why can’t I be like them too? Oh, great minds of my time Please illuminate the climb So I don’t crumble getting there Oh, great minds of my time Please tell me one more time Why can’t I be like you too? ....
