Everybody needs to start their own fire
Everybody needs a riot of their own
Everybody needs to be something that they are not
Everybody needs to go it alone
(Because!)
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't, be what you want to be
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't, see what you need to see
(Okay!)
In All the time spent hanging on to anything
And All the time spent knowing that they're wrong
And All the time wasted, stolen back, innocent
You won't get a second more so move it along
(Because!)
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't, be what you want to be
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't, see what you need to see
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't, be what you want to be
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't, see what you need to see
Wishing and hoping and thinking it's you
That's got this all under control
Never, a minute, has passed you all by
When they haven't invaded your soul
It's not something you can hold
It's not something you own
It's not something you can buy or steal
You've got it when you're alone
Being free, is a tragedy
When you don't know yourself
Being free, is a tragedy
When you don't know who you are
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't, be what you want to be
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't, see what you need to see
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't, be what you want to be
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't, see what you need to see
