This is how you fucking write a ROCK song. From the way Gilbert 'pops the clutch' at 1:28 to Martin's articulation of 'someone/somewhere' to the in-your-face lyrics, to the serious pocket set up by Sheehan's fill at 3:56, this chorus defines ROCK.
Do you know who I am Did you follow the change Am I part of your plan to stay the same I'm not that man I've worn out my shoes On sacred ground My point of view is not faced down Like I see you Viva la strange, take a bite of Eden's apple Against the grain and away from the madness, madness I don't wanna burn the life for my candle Waiting around for a better day I'll take a chance on fate's middle finger And be someone I've never been Don't wanna be another pretender Not gonna smile, to save my own face I wanna leave the thieves in the temple Somewhere out of this place I won't get in my way I won't get in my way I won't get in my way, this time Blow away the stone And slip through the cracks Shake all the bones off my back My heart is my own Viva la strange, take a bite of Eden's apple Beyond the frame and out of the pretty picture, picture Don't wanna burn the life for my candle Waiting around for a better day I'll take a chance on fate's middle finger And be someone I've never been Don't wanna be another pretender Not gonna smile, to save my face I wanna leave the thieves in the temple And go somewhere out of this place I won't get in my way I won't get in my way I won't get in my way, this time Don't wanna burn the life for my candle Waiting around for a better day I'll take a chance on fate's middle finger And be someone I've never been I don't wanna be another pretender Not gonna smile, to save my own face I wanna leave the thieves in the temple And go somewhere out of this place I won't get in my way I won't get in my way I won't get in my way
The melodies and harmonies are simply orgasmic! So thrilled to hear such quality music in today's drab world. Welcome back, boys!
It blows my mind how many great tunes this album has. Without a doubt, the best rock album in years!

classic Mr.Big!!! great song!!!
Do you know who I am
Did you follow the change
Am I part of your plan to stay the same
I'm not that man
I've worn out my shoes
On sacred ground
My point of view is not faced down
Like I see you
Viva la strange, take a bite of Eden's apple
Against the grain and away from the madness, madness
I don't wanna burn the life for my candle
Waiting around for a better day
I'll take a chance on fate's middle finger
And be someone I've never been
Don't wanna be another pretender
Not gonna smile, to save my own face
I wanna leave the thieves in the temple
Somewhere out of this place
I won't get in my way
I won't get in my way
I won't get in my way, this time
Blow away the stone
And slip through the cracks
Shake all the bones off my back
My heart is my own
Viva la strange, take a bite of Eden's apple
Beyond the frame and out of the pretty picture, picture
Don't wanna burn the life for my candle
Waiting around for a better day
I'll take a chance on fate's middle finger
And be someone I've never been
Don't wanna be another pretender
Not gonna smile, to save my face
I wanna leave the thieves in the temple
And go somewhere out of this place
I won't get in my way
I won't get in my way
I won't get in my way, this time
Don't wanna burn the life for my candle
Waiting around for a better day
I'll take a chance on fate's middle finger
And be someone I've never been
I don't wanna be another pretender
Not gonna smile, to save my own face
I wanna leave the thieves in the temple
And go somewhere out of this place
I won't get in my way
I won't get in my way
I won't get in my way
