I wanna be from somewhere
I wanna stand for something 
The price of my freedom    
You couldn't pay me nothin     

I wanna die an old man
In the presence of loved ones
With a special someone
Sitting right next to me            

When I go to the cafe
For to get my coffee
They know exactly what I want
They don't even ask me

cnd if I keep up the good work
Make a visit to the tip jar       
Well, every couple days, now  
They forget to charge me       

I say howdy to my neighbor
When I'm takin out the trash can
cnd we talk about some bullshit           
In the early evening breeze

cnd even though I am the new kid
cnd he's been living on the old block
We still ask each other how our day was
cnd that's the way it oughta be

Who's talkin bout a movement?
Who's talkin bout money?
It shouldn't take a revolution
To get some milk and honey

Who's talkin bout living
c little closer to the bone, yeah
Who's talkin bout the one thing
I thought everybody wanted to be from somewhere...

I wanna get off the outrage 
I wanna get on the same page
I wanna ring in the new age
I wanna get off the screen 

I wanna listen to the ancients 
Find the glitches in the matrix 
cnd get back to the basics 
I betcha we could all agree 

We wanna be from somewhere
We wanna stand for something 
The price of my freedom    
I hope nobody could pay you nothin     

I wanna die an old man
In the presence of loved ones
With a special someone
Sitting right next to me   
With a special someone
That's the life of my dreams
