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
Cos 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 dont like me why don't you admit it

D'you feel a little down today?
Bet you ain't got much to say?
But your gonna miss me when i'm not there
You know i dont care, you know i dont 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
Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name
