Let Me Be

Well, I've had it with this place and all the games
It's time for me to leave before I go insane
I got a long trip ahead and a hybrid won't do
I need a vintage Ford to get me far from you

Now everyone says "Boy you got it so good."
They don't know the rules as well as they should
They keep taking till you lose sight of what they stole
One day you wake and find they took your soul

Well my Mother loves me and my Dad is dead
The long arm of the man got inside his head
Now they want to do all the same things to me
Just get your hands off and..... let me be!

They keep telling you how good you are,
All the while knowing your not getting far
Say this to your face and that behind your back
You better get ready for the sneak attack!

Well my Mother loves me and my Dad is dead
The long arm of the man got inside his head
Now they want to do all the same things to me
Just get your hands off and..... let me be!

Well my advice to you is to lighten your load,
You'll get better mileage as you head down the road
Don't bother looking for what you have lost,
You'd have to start asking "Was it worth the cost?

Well my Mother loves me and my Dad is dead
The long arm of the man got inside his head
Now they want to do all the same things to me
Just get your hands off and..... let me be!

Now everyone says "Boy you got it so good."

The long arm of the man got inside his head
Now they want to do all the same things to me
