Don’t Wanna Be the One Lyrics

I'm an innocent victim, I'm just like you
We end up in home units with a brick wall view
I can't believe the perfect families on my colour TV
If I don't make it to the top it'll never bother me

And I don't wanna be the one
And I don't wanna be the one

I'm an innocent bystander caught in the path
Waiting out the back while the corporate attack
Assaults the senses with relentless scenes of passion and delight
I cut up all the options and went running for my life

And I don't wanna be the one
And I don't wanna be the one
And I don't wanna be the one
And I don't wanna be the one

And I don't wanna be the one
And I don't wanna be the one
And I don't wanna be the one

Not now, not there
I'm never never gonna be the one
I'm never never gonna be the one
I'm never never gonna be the one
I'm never never gonna be the one
I don't wanna be the one

My oh my oh oh
