I can see I'm a little unstable Mystified,I'm tired and unable To switch it on and switch it off daily It's OK to, say how you see me It's about my time, There's no way, Please, this isn't working And I can't breathe Got No air now How can I live when I wanna be free This is my time and these are my needs It's OK to want before you fall down Setting me up on a mission of life Got to, Got to, Go to go crazy Mm Can you tell I'm a little bit Hungary Mr. Fabulous don't impress me You talk to me with the speech without words Where the vowels all missing and the truth unheard Please, this isn't working I can't breathe Got No Air now It's all about the money, It's all about the fame, It's not about the way you live your life This is how I'm gonna break it down now How can I live when I wanna be free This is my time and these are my needs It's OK to want before you fall down Setting me up on a mission of life Give it to me, ha ha! Can't you see I'm a little bit weary In a three piece suit and shoes that don't fit me You're bright eyed, bushy tailed, pushing it around No I won't let it go, no I won't stop, so tough! How can I live when I wanna be free This is my time and these are my needs It's OK to want before you fall down Setting me up on a mission of life How can I live when I wanna be free This is my time and these are my needs It's OK to want before you fall down Setting me up on a mission of life You're setting me up on a mission of life You're setting me up on a mission of life You're setting me up on a mission of life Ha!
