For too long I've played life the easy way
I went through my days saying everything everyone told me to say
I can't live like this

And I can't go on like this
Cause when you step in line, that means the line just grew one longer
And it's a line that ends up leading us to nowhere

And I can't live like this
Yea, I can't go on like this


I need to break free, break away from what they want me to be
They can't control me, they can't work me like a machine
I need to break out of character, show them I'm not just another factor

Break free, yea break out of character

Don't you realize that what you're doing won't make you happy

Staying confined will never show you true reality
And I can't live like this
Yea, I can't go on like this


I need to break free, break away from what they want me to be
They can't control me, they can't work me like a machine

I need to break out of character, show them I'm not just another factor
Break free, yea break out of character


In life there are only two sides
Do I live or die? Cause I'd rather die than just stand by
In life there are only two sides

Do I live or die? Cause I'd rather die than just stand by

For too long I've played life the easy way

I went through my days saying everything everyone told me to say
I can't live like this
Yea, I can't go on like this


I need to break free, break away from what they want me to be
They can't control me, they can't work me like a machine

I need to break out of character, show them I'm not just another factor
Break free, yea break out of character
Break free, break out of character
