Lyrics

I'm gonna break out of the city
Leave the people here behind
Searching for adventure
It's the type of life to find
Tired of doing day jobs
With no thanks for what I do
I'm sure I must be someone
Now I'm gonna find out who
Why don't you ask them
What they expect from you?
Why don't you tell them
What you're gonna do?
You get so lonely
Maybe it's better that way
It ain't you only
You got something to say
Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do
Don't need no politicians
To tell me things I shouldn't be
Neither no opticians
To tell me what I oughta see
No one tells you nothing
Even when you know they know
But they tell you what you should do
They don't like to see you grow
Why don't you ask them
What they expect from you?
Why don't you tell them
What you're gonna do?
You get so lonely
Maybe it's better that way
It ain't you only
You got something to say
Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do
Gonna break out of the city
Leave the people here behind
Searching for adventure
It's the type of life to find
Tired of doing day jobs
With no "thanks" for what I do
I'm sure I must be someone
Now I'm gonna find out who
Why don't you ask them
What they expect from you?
Why don't you tell them
What you're gonna do?
You get so lonely
Maybe it's better that way
It ain't you only
You got something to say
Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do
