Baby, life is like a ride on the freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a [bad word] thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them

If I seem bleak
Well, you'd be correct
And if I don't speak
It's 'cause I get disconnected
But I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun

(Hey!)
When I ran I didn't feel like [bad word]  (Hey!)
When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away. (Hey!)
There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying

Though you hear me
I don't think that you relate
My will is something
That you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be [bad word] By [bad word] in your eyes
As you're starin' at the sun
