Lyrics
You say you wanna get away
Not happy with it anyway
With it anyway, with it anyway
Oh, Oh, wanna get away
You started out with quite a flare
They said you could go anywhere
Could go anywhere, could go anywhere
Oh, Oh, could go anywhere
And now you find you're sitting there
Making money from your chair
You wonder what is going on
Something's missing, something's wrong...
You drive yourself to work each day
You sleep because you got your pay
Because you got your pay
Because you got your pay
Oh, Oh, don't you see its' you who paid...
Because you find yourself at home
Too tired to play, too tired to run
You wonder what is going on
Something's missing, something's wrong...
You say you want a brand new start
Not wait until you fall apart
Until you fall apart, until you fall apart
Oh, Oh, want a brand new start...
And so you find yourself at home
Your love is out, you're all alone
You wonder what is going on
Something's missing, something's wrong...
You say you wanna get away
Not happy with it anyway
With it anyway, with it anyway
Oh, Oh, wanna get away...
