Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What's the matter with you?
You've been down all day
What happened to you?
To make you feel that way?
Baby, ain't that a shame
When they call you those names?
Droppin' out from school
Guess it wasn't so cool
[Verse 2]
Everyone, everyone needs
Some space to breathe
All the time we have been blind, so blind
Yeah, we just couldn't see it
Yeah, you're too old to cry
Too young to die
What happens in the in-between?
Don't you think it's strange?
Things just change
[Verse 3]
It's just a burnt out town
It's a burnt out scene
You've been a dropout ever
Since you've been seventeen
Lonely child, when will you see
You need to be free?
Often times people, they find
They're not blind
Yeah, they just don't see it
[Verse 4]
Lonely child, listen to me
It's just a burnt out town
It's just a one horse scene
Gotta get away, gotta get away, you got to
Hangin' off in the parkin' lot of Dairy Queen
You've been a dropout ever
Since you've been seventeen, yeah
Gotta get away, gotta get away, you got to
Gotta get away, gotta get away, you got to
You got to
You got to
