Let's go!
Everybody needs to start their own fire
Everybody needs a riot of their own

Everybody needs to be something that they are not
Everybody needs to go it alone


Because!
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't be what you want to be

Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't see what you need to see


Okay!
All the time spent hanging on to anything
All the time spent knowing that they're wrong

All the time wasted, stolen back, innocent
You won't get a second more so move it along


Because!
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't be what you want to be

Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't see what you need to see


Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't be what you want to be
Living so free is a tragedy

When you can't see what you need to see

Wishing and hoping and thinking it's you

That's got this all under control
Never a minute has passed you all by
When they haven't invaded your soul


It's not something you can hold
It's not something you own

It's not something you can buy or steal
You've got it when you're alone


Being free is a tragedy
When you don't know yourself
Being free is a tragedy

When you don't know who you are

Living so free is a tragedy

When you can't be what you want to be
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't see what you need to see


Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't be what you want to be

Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't see what you need to see


Let's go!
Hey, hey, hey!
Alright then

This is the story of your life man

(And in other places around the world,

It's growing clear that the americans are trigger happy)
