Lyrics for I Just Wasn't Made For These Times

I keep lookin' for a place to fit in Where I can speak my mind And I've been tryin' hard to find the people That I won't leave behind They say I got brains But they ain't doin' me no good I wish they could Each time things start to happen again I think I got somethin' good goin' for myself But what goes wrong Sometimes I feel very sad Sometimes I feel very sad (Ain't found the right thing I can put my heart and soul into) Sometimes I feel very sad (Ain't found the right thing I can put my heart and soul into) I guess I just wasn't made for these times Every time I get the inspiration To go change things around No one wants to help me look for places Where new things might be found Where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out What's it all about Each time things start to happen again I think I got somethin' good goin' for myself But what goes wrong Sometimes I feel very sad Sometimes I feel very sad (ain't found the right thing I can put my heart and soul into) Sometimes I feel very sad (ain't found the right thing I can put my heart and soul into) I guess I just wasn't made for these times I guess I just wasn't made for these times I guess I just wasn't made for these times I guess I just wasn't made for these times I guess I just wasn't made for these times I guess I just wasn't made for these times
