I'm like a cat in a cage, locked up and battered and bruisedI am the prodigal son, a shameful prodigy tooI am the love of your life, battering ram and confusedI turn each day into night, I stand there waiting for youThere is desire to fight, but I have nothing to proveWith the crowd and some lights, I start to feel things moveDo you have something to hide? 'Cause I think that we all doI am a child inside, back up and give me some roomI'm just a !@$( child, don't let it go to your headI'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off deadThey turn us loose in the night, I'm $#&@ing Jekyll and HydeWe'll have the time of our lives although we're dying insideSo let me go, goSo let me go, goJust let me go, goI'd rather go it aloneSo let me go, goSo let me go, goJust let me go, goI'm never coming homeDon't start to panic for me, 'cause I have nothing to loseI am as bright as the sun, I burn up all that I chooseUp on the side of the field I see a city with lightsI touch her face when I kneel, she tells me she's not aliveI am too nervous to run, the kids who scatter and hideStill reach and grab for someone, but end up buried aliveHer world is waiting for me, a world that I rarely usedI start to feel my feet, they kick down walls as they moveI'm just a !@$( child, don't let it go to your headI'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off deadThey turn us loose in the night, I'm $#&@ing Jekyll and HydeWe'll have the time of our lives although we're dying insideSo let me go, goSo let me go, goJust let me go, goI'd rather go it aloneSo let me go, goSo let me go, goJust let me go, goI'm never coming homeI'm just a !@$( child, don't let it go to your headI'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off deadThey turn us loose in the night, I'm $#&@ing Jekyll and HydeWe'll have the time of our lives although we're dying insideSo let me go, goSo let me go, goJust let me go, goI'd rather go it aloneSo let me go, goSo let me go, goJust let me go, goI'm never coming home
