Young and free, something you'll never be
A childhood's end, it's lunacy
Pure dictation, they don't listen
And you're just waiting for what you're missing
Welcome to your nightmare
You just can't walk away
It's time for you, to choose, your fate
You just can't let it lay
Welcome to your nightmare
Your whole life's on the way
Today
You're no good, misunderstood, A.I.R.
All their hopes and visions of what they want you to be
Crucial times, made up minds, A.I.R.
So high and mighty, though much too blind too see
Who are you gonna live your life for?
Conformity will trap you like a locked door
Independence means owning your decision's
Authority will put your soul in prison
Welcome to your nightmare
You just can't walk away
It's time for you, to choose, your fate
You just can't let it lay
Welcome to your nightmare
Your whole life's on the way
Today
You're no good, misunderstood, A.I.R.
All their hopes and visions of what they want you to be
Crucial times, made up minds, A.I.R.
So high and mighty, though much too blind too see
Fight, go insane, there's no one else to blame
Stop, their influence, you can't give them a chance
Break, right through the wall, that separates us all
Start, your second life, without their hands in sight
You got your pride you got your visions
Don't subside, don't ever give in
Don't compromise just keep on grinning
The games they play you just keep on winning
Keep on winning
Keep on winning
Keep on winning
A.I.R.
Do it, drive it, drink it, smoke it,
Choke it
Two steps forward
One hundred steps back
We¹re going the wrong way
It¹s backwards, it¹s backwards
Cuffed and branded
I can¹t stand it
Give me the lane I¹m gonna play it my way
when I want to
Charged by the pain
I¹m gonna scream out my name if I want to
Live, it, be it, hold it, touch it
Kick it, beat it, love it, suck it
Two steps forward
One hundred steps back
We¹re going the wrong way
It¹s backwards, it¹s backwards
Cuffed and branded
I can¹t stand it
Give me the lane I¹m gonna play it my way
when I want to
Charged by the pain
I¹m gonna scream out my name if I want to
I feel like I¹m riding shotgun
Not a roll I can play
I would never get on my knees
And walk the walk of the dead
I won¹t take a back up,
I¹m gonna get my back up
I won¹t take a back up,
charged by life and nothing more
Do it, drive it, drink it, smoke it
Live it, be it, hold it, touch it
Kick it, beat it, love it, suck it !
Give me the lane I¹m gonna play it my way
when I want to
Charged by the pain
I¹m gonna scream out my name if I want to
I¹m riding shotgun
