Give me something I would die
Give me something and I'll give more
I'm not a soldier in a cold war
Fight for something I could live for
Won't you let me be
Why don't you let me be
Don't want another complication
I didn't know your reputation
Don't like the scene and what it's turned out to be
You've got to realize that you're not the only one
So set me free
Why don't you set me free
For every bird in the hand
There's two in the bush
I'm so far from where I wanted to be
A decade off that is certain to me
Don't you chain me down your sure and safe society clown
Because I'm not the one
I've accepted the uncertainty
With the option of insanity
Disregarded like an old shoe worn
Down so much that I can hardly run
So let me be
Why don't you let me be
Give me something I would die for
Give me something and I'll give more
Why not something that is certain to me
Make me realize I'm the only one
Or set me free
Why don't you set me free
For every bird in the hand
If there's a bird in the hand
There's two in the bush
