You only want to hear the words you want to hear
You only said the things that kept you in the clear
I did the things I thought were right
Made my choices then the friends arrived

I’m getting out, I’m going away
I’m out of this world, I’m gone to stay
I’m here with me and I’m running free
In my ‘little world of luxury’

I’m running away from it all to get something out of life
I’m sick and tired of hearing ‘You must work to survive...’

Done my time of fooling around
I’m not out to save the world
Most of the words you said to me
They were shots in the dark
I was in the dark

It’s OK, you’re alright
In every way
So you’re right and I’m wrong
But I’m here and you’re gone

What the hell did you think that I could do?
What the hell d’you think you would do
Nothing in this life is what they meant it to be

Nothing in the world can stop me
Motivation fever’s got me
Everything in life is what you want it to be
So strong, I keep on going on
Strong, keep me running on

Two wrongs don’t make a right
Two rights don’t make it better
One word’s enough to end it
That word is one too many
Don’t make it wrong to know me
Don’t wish that time to show me
Don’t need that sympathetic
Don’t need the stars to stop me now
