lyrics

It's desperate times with no measure
Escaping this prison
with never ending walls
and no one to listen

You pull me down without knowing
It's both of us who fall
I'm ready so let me go
I realize I don’t belong

All you've done is control me
So many years of conformity
All my life without a choice
All my life with no voice

But now I see another side of who I am
I cannot hide
I'm getting out I'm running free
Three cheers For mediocrity

I hate the things you say
I'll never be anything you want me to be
so get the hell out
You can't decide who I am anymore
so go away now

Words trickle downward all our memories erased
I'm walking out right now I won't ever see your face
These times will come to pass and we’ll all end up happy
This is how I want to leave, this is just how it should be

All you've done is control me
So many years of conformity
All my life without a choice
All my life with no voice

But now I see another side of who I am
I cannot hide
I'm getting out Im running free
Three cheers For mediocrity

I hate the things you say
I'll never be anything you want me to be
so get the hell out
You cant decide who I am anymore
so go away now
