What I Am

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean

Philosophy, is a walk on a slippery rock
Religion, is a smile on a dog

Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
Yeah, what I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?

Philosophy, is the talk on a cereal box
Religion, is a light in the fog.

Shove me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
Yeah, what I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
