Momma's at the kitchen table
Painting Avon on neighbour ladies
Daddy's working in the backyard
On some old wreck in 48 degrees

I can see
All my brothers fighting
Climbing the Jacaranda tree
I can smell the storm coming
Hear the sheets flapping in the breeze
Then there's me

Sitting at this little table
Same hotel room, different city
Like's the world end
But it won't change me
When I get homesick
I got the memories

I can see
All my brothers fighting
Climbing the Jacaranda tree
I can smell the storm coming
Hear the sheets flapping in the breeze
Then there's me

I will not compromise
I will never live a lie
I could never leave behind
The things that define me
I will always be myself
Whether I'm here or somewhere else
What you see is what you get
With me

No I will never compromise
And I will never live a lie
We won't make the world go round
But money man, the circus clown
The holy man now's on the ground
Then there's me
