lyrics

Leave school, go to college
Forget all you ever wanted
Fast cars rock stars
Drug addicts and alcoholics

Pay bills, save your money
Tell momma not to worry
nine to five in some office
Gotta get that Cash deposit

Maybe that’s just not me
None of that shit’s what I need
Always knew I had to cut free
Got a One way ticket but
I want you right beside me
Always knew I had to cut free
Got a one way ticket
got a one way ticket

Stay and struggle
Through the trouble
I don’t wanna burst your bubble
Nothings getting better here
Feel it in the atmosphere

Play along, right or wrong
All rolled up into one
Can’t you see its crystal clear
Nothings getting better here

Maybe that’s just not me
None of that shit’s what I need
Always knew I had cut free
Got a One way ticket
But I want you right beside me
Always knew I had to cut free
Got a one way ticket
got a one way ticket

This circus loves itself
Forget about anybody else
freak show, leeches, living hell
Stuck down at the bottom of the well

Maybe that’s just not me
None of that shit’s what I need
Always knew I had to cut free
Got a One way ticket but
I want you right beside me

Maybe that’s just not me
None of that shit’s what I need
Always knew I had to cut free
Got a One way ticket
Got a one way ticket

Old man, never left
Choking on a cigarette
Looking back on his life
Asking if it’s over yet

Back pain, pension plan
Just Get out while you can
Ride the wave, run away
Red to go or blue to stay.
