I Want Out

from On the Rocks by Shot of Mercury

lyrics

My daddy always told me to think
with a mind of my own
To often ask the difficult questions
and find the answers myself
What I never learned was how
to take it all in stride
To stand up for what I believe in
when I’d much rather run

I want out
An escape route
I wanna live on the moon
My own rules
No fools
Nobody dragging me down, yeah
To go where
There’s no fear
Far away from here
I wanna live, wanna live how I’ll live
my life
I want out, I want out, I want out of here

Ever since the day I could talk,
I’ve sought to be free
From the pressures and expectations
of who they think I should be
I just wanna spend my life
in some kind of peace
I’ve been down this road before
if you know what I mean

I want out
An escape route
I wanna live on the moon
My own rules
No fools
Nobody dragging me down, yeah
To go where
There’s no fear
Far away from here
I wanna live, wanna live, how I’ll live
my life
I want out, I want out, I want out of here
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I want out
Get me out
Far away from here
No rules, no fools
Far away
I want out
Get me out
Get me out, out

Oh yeah get me out
An escape route
I wanna live on the moon
My own rules
No fools
Nobody dragging me down, yeah
To go where
There’s no fear
Far away from here
I wanna live, wanna live how I’ll live
my life
Oh yeah, hell yeah get me out
An escape route
No rules, no fools
No one draggin me down
Yeah yeah yeah
I wanna live, wanna live how I’ll live
my life
I want out
I want out
I want out of here!
