From our lives' beginning on We are pushed in little forms No one asks us how we like to be In school they teach you what to think But everyone says different things But they're all convinced that they're the ones to see So they keep talking and they never stop And at a certain point you give it up So the only thing that's left to think is this I want out, to live my life alone I want out, leave me be I want out, to do things on my own I want out, to live my life and to be free People tell me A and be They tell me how I have to see Things that I have seen already clear So they push me then from side to side They're pushing me from black to white They're pushing 'til there's nothing more to hear But don't push me to the maximum Shut your mouth and take it home 'Cause I decide the way things gonna be I want out, to live my life alone I want out, leave me be I want out, to do things on my own I want out, to live my life and to be free There's a million ways to see the things in life A million ways to be the fool In the end of it, none of us is right Sometimes we need to be alone No, no, no, leave me alone I want out, to live my life alone I want out, leave me be I want out, to do things on my own I want out, to live my life and to be free
