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 make what you want to be

Living so free is a tragedy

When you can't see what you need to see

Okay

All the time spent hanging on to anything

All the time spent knowing that they're wrong

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 make 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 make 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 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

Let's go

Hey hey hey

Alright then

This is the story of your life man
