They're trying hard to put me in my place And that is why I've gotta keep running The future is mine and it's no disgrace 'Cause in the end the past means nothing You tell me I'm free then you tie me down And from my chains I think it's a pity What did it cost you to wear my crown? You don't like me why don't you admit it D'you feel a little down today? Bet you ain't got much to say? But you're gonna miss me when I'm not there You know I don't care, you know I don't care As we beg and steal and borrow Life is hit and miss and this I Hope, I Think, I Know And if I hear the names you call If I stumble catch me when I fall 'Cause baby after all, you'll never forget my name
They're trying hard to put me in my place
And that is why I've gotta keep running
The future is mine and it's no disgrace
'Cause in the end the past means nothing
You tell me I'm free then you tie me down
And from my chains I think it's a pity
What did it cost you to wear my crown?
You don't like me why don't you admit it
D'you feel a little down today?
Bet you ain't got much to say?
But you're gonna miss me when I'm not there
You know I don't care, you know I don't care
As we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss and this
I Hope, I Think, I Know
And if I hear the names you call
If I stumble catch me when I fall
'Cause baby after all, you'll never forget my name
