C
[Verse 1]
Em C
My spirit`s free, you won`t get me
B C
Into the box your life is locked in
Em C
Your value system`s broken down
B C
I see it blocks the road it stopped in
[Chorus]
G C
And every day the things you crave
B C
Make a play for my affection
G C
I tell you straight
Am
I won`t be swayed
B
I`m walking in the opposite direction
[Próxima Parte]
Em G Am C
[Verse 2]
Em C
They scream at me from flashing screens
B C
They hassle me from city walls
Em C
But these are other people`s dreams
B C
They don`t resemble mine at all
[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]
Em G Am C
[Verse 3]
Em C
The stuff that you hold dear and high
B C
How does it warrant such devotion?
Em C
I think you`ve lost the reason why
B C
Though you still carry on the motion
[Chorus]
[Outro]
