Lyrics

What I Am

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean

Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-do ya?

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
You what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
You what you are or what?

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean

Philosophy, is a walk on the slippery rocks
Religion is a light in a fog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-do ya?

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
You what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
You what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
You what you are or what you are?
What I am is what I am
You what you are or what?

Now, now, now, now
I say, I say, I say
I do hey-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-ay

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

Don't let me get too deep
(What I am is what I am
You what you are or what?)
Don't let me get too deep
(What I am is what I am
You what you are or what?)
Don't let me get too deep
(What I am is what I am
You what you are or what you are)
Don't let me get too deep
(What I am is what I am
You what you are or what?)

What I am is what I am
You what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
You what you are or what?

What I am is what I am
You what you are or what
