Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Leash is getting shorter, and the walls are closing in
Anything you are into, they are saying it's a sin
See them singing their songs
But you won't see me singing along
They say it can't be done
But I say they are all wrong
[PreChorus]
See me ride into the sunset
See me vanish in the sea
I'm doing wrong and I ain't done yet
I won't take part, you know what I mean
Ain't gonna follow the law until they legalize living
[Chorus]
Legalize living
Legalize living
[Verse 2]
Rules on top of rules, all of this I do despise
Layers upon layers upon layers upon lies
They are putting the doubt in you
They tell you what they want you to do
Gonna scream until their faces are blue
Till you stop listening too
[Chorus]
See me ride into the sunset
See me vanish in the sea
With explosions going off behind me
I won't take part, you know what I mean
Ain't gonna follow the law until they legalize living
[Chorus]
Legalize living
Legalize living
Legalize living
[PreChorus]
Ain't gonna follow the law until the shit starts giving
Gonna follow the law when they legalize living
[Chorus]
Legalize living
Legalize living
Legalize living
Legalize living
