What sort of people are we?

I am a scientist - I seek to understand me
All of my impurities and evils yet unknown
I am a journalist - I write to you to show you
I am an incurable
And nothing else behaves like me

And I know whats right
But Im losing sight
Of the clues for which I search and choose
To abuse
To just unlock my mind
Yeah, and just unlock my mind

I am a pharmacist
Prescriptions I will fill you
Potions, pills and medicines
To ease your painful lives
I am a lost soul
I shoot myself with rock & roll
The hole I dig is bottomless
But nothing else can set me free

And I know whats right
But Im losing sight
Of the clues for which I search and choose
To abuse
To just unlock my mind
Yeah, and just unlock my mind

I am a scientist - I seek to understand me
I am an incurable and nothing else behaves like me

Everything is right
Everything works out right
Everything fades from sight
Because thats alright with me

When I was a young fella I was an ironworker and one of my co-workers was Labe Dean. He had been a professional baseball player years before and he used to say,"I'm a low ball hitter and a highball drinker."

+1 to this.
Speaking just for myself, i do not want to get categorized.
If it feels good, handy or comfortable then i use it.
Just as something being old doesn't make it useless. I do not want to purchase or use something new just because it is modern or something that everybody must have. However being 'modern' or new, by itself, doesn't make anything useless. Age doesn't count on certain things and values.
