No rags to riches, slave to the grind Lost in a bottle, I got wrecked out of my mind Wait for the weekend, wait for a thrill Five days of bullshit made me crucify my will
Stone cold sober to make ends meet I realize that I don't live on easy street
Give me a reason, why should I stay? Don't have the guts to leave I'm just wishing it away
(Chorus:) If I had wings to fly I would be gone with no goodbyes If I had wings to fly Welcome to freedom, I'll ride the sky
Life is a rat race, don't rock the boat Keepin' up with the Joneses before you get too old
Suburban victims control the game Don't need no ticket to get on that gravy train
(Chorus)
I wish I could fly away And leave this world behind No dreams about yesterday Spread my wings and fly
