Young and free, something you'll never be
childhood's end, it's lunacy
Pure dictation, they don't listen
And you're just waiting for what you're missing
 [bad word] to your nightmare
You just can't walk away
It's time for you, to choose, your fate
You just can't let it lay [bad word] to your nightmare
Your whole life's on the way
Today

You're no good, misunderstood, A.I.R.
All their hopes and visions of what they want you to be [bad word] times, made up minds, A.I.R.
So high and mighty, though much too blind too see

Who are you gonna live your life for?
Conformity will trap you like a locked door
Independence means owning your decision's
Authority will put your soul in prison

Fight, go insane, there's no one else to blame
Stop, their influence, you can't give them a chance
Break, right through the wall, that separates us all
Start, your second life, without their hands in sight

You got your pride you got your visions
Don't subside, don't ever give in [bad word] just keep on grinning
The games they play you just keep on winning
Keep on winning, A.I.R.
