He's just a young boy out of school Livin' his world like he wants to They're making laws, but they don't understand Turns a boy into a fighting man
They won't take me They won't break me
No one could tell him what to do Had to learn everything the hard way He's on the street, breakin' all the rules I'm telling you that he's nobody's fool
They won't take me They won't break me
Now he's leavin' Getting out from the masquerade Oh gotta go
I'm finally out in the clear and I'm free
I'm movin' on where they'll never find me (Rollin' on to anywhere) I'll break away, yes, I'm on my way Leavin' today, yes, I'm on my way
Just when you think you had it all figured out (Runnin' scared can change your mind) I never knew I had so much to give (How hard times can fool ya) Oh, I'm okay, I'm alright (Feelin' good out on your own) I'll break away, I'll break away tonight (I've got dreams I've livin' for)
I'll break away, yes I'm on my way I'm leavin', leavin' today, yes I'm on my way This is my escape, yes I'm on my way I'll break away, yes I'm on my way
I'll break away, yes I'm on my way I'm leavin', leavin' today, yes I'm on my way This is my escape, yes I'm on my way I'll break away, yes I'm on my way
