I’M STARTING TO FEEL LIKE I KNOW THIS TOWN TOO WELL
THE THINGS I COULD SAY, THE STORIES I COULD TELL
THESE WALLS ARE CLOSIN’ IN
JUST WHEN I THINK I’M OUT, THEY PULL ME BACK IN

THINGS HAVE GOTTA CHANGE
I GOTTA BREAK AWAY

EVERYBODY TELLS ME WHAT I SHOULD DO
JUST TO GET ALONG, TO MAKE IT THROUGH
THERE IS SO MUCH I KNOW THAT THEY DON’T SEE
THE LIFE THEY HAVE IS NOT THE LIFE FOR ME

I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY
I GOTTA BREAK AWAY

THE WORLD WON’T STOP SPINNIN’
I’LL DO MY BEST TO SLOW IT DOWN
JUST NEED TO BREAK AWAY
TO A PLACE I WON’T BE FOUND

WHEN THE WORLD IS PULLING DOWN ON YOU
AND YOU’RE FEELING LIKE THERE’S NOTHING
LEFT FOR YOU TO DO
PACK IT UP AND MOVE DOWN THE LINE
STEP AWAY WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH

WE COULD ALL USE A LITTLE CHANGE
WE GOTTA BREAK AWAY
