I'm not cynical 
I'm not naive 
I lost my faith in everything 
But now I believe 

It's not the principle 
I'm not invisible 
You open up the door 
And you ask me to leave 

I'm not stupid 
I'm not smart 
I'm not arrogant enough 
To suffer for my art 

I'm not a criminal 
So set me free 
If you're gonna say something 
Say it to me 

I know for sure 
There's nothing more 
For the very first time 
Right here and now 
There's something pure 
For the very first time 

It's not a chemical 
It's not caffeine 
It's something so much better 
Than you ever seen 

It's nothing physical 
It's unintentional 
The fire's still burning 
If you know what I mean 

I'm not stupid 
I'm not smart 
I'm not arrogant enough 
To suffer for my art 

I'm not a criminal 
So set me free 
If you're gonna say something 
Say it to me 

I know for sure 
There's nothing more 
For the very first time 
Right here and now 
There's something pure 
For the very first time
