Rivers Cuomo
The Opposite of Me
[Verse 1]
What if I was to say, "Hell no
I'm not your soldier boy"?
I'd laugh as your life comes crashing down
Like the Fall of Troy

[Pre-Chorus]
You left me on a mountainside
You have no right to be surprised

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm gonna be somebody else
Be somebody else
The opposite of me
The opposite of me
And yeah, if you couldn't tell
I'm gonna be somebody else
The opposite of me
The opposite of me

[Verse 2]
I've always been the welcome mat
On which you wiped your feet
You never saw how tall I was
Well, now you got to see
[Pre-Chorus]
I finally reached the breaking point
Watch the man replace the boy

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm gonna be somebody else
Be somebody else
The opposite of me
The opposite of me
And yeah, if you couldn't tell
I'm gonna be somebody else
The opposite of me
The opposite of me

[Bridge]
I'll be there right in front of the portico
Blade ready, vengeance on my mind
With one thrust, I will be transmuted
From mortal to immortality (Me too)
Immorality (Me too)
Amorality (Me too)
The opposite of me

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm gonna be somebody else
Be somebody else
The opposite of me
The opposite of me
And yeah, if you couldn't tell
I'm gonna be somebody else
The opposite of me
The opposite of me
[Outro]
The opposite of me
The opposite of me
