[Intro]
This song is about
It's quite an old song
But then, I'm quite old
But I'm really an individual
Now
This is a song from the b-side
And it's a song
When I joined a rock and rock band, everybody said
"You are crazy to join The Kinks"
But I said, "I'm not like everybody else, I believe in this"
And I got a feeling there should be more individuals in this world, alright?
Are you individuals?
Are you individuals up there? I see
This is called "I'm Not Like Everybody Else"

[Verse 1]
I won't take all that they hand me down
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown
And I'm not gonna take it all lying down
'Cause once I get startеd, I go to town

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm not like evеrybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
[Chorus]
And I don't want to live this life like everybody else
And I don't want to get a job like everybody else
And I don't want to be destroyed like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
What am I like?

[Interlude]
Then we signed to a record company
And they said, "We want you to make records like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones"
But I said, "No, we are The Kinks, we are not like everybody else"
And I said to my girlfriend, she said, "Pray, don't go on tour"
But I said to her

[Verse 2]
I won't, darling, you know that I love you true
And I'd do anything that you want me to
I'd even confess all my sins like you want me to
But there's one thing that I can't do for you
Why's that?

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not like everybody else (How do I say it?)
I'm not like everybody else (What did I say to her?)
I'm not like everybody else (One more time)
I'm not like everybody else (Everybody else)
[Chorus]
And I don't want to live this life like everybody else
And I don't want to be destroyed like everybody else
And I don't want to get a job like everybody else
'Cause I'm not like everybody else (One more time)
I'm not like everybody else, no

[Post-Chorus]
Like everybody else (Everybody else)
Everybody else (Everybody else)
Everybody else (Everybody else)
Everybody (Everybody else)
