Lets go
Everybody needs to start their own fire
Everybody needs a riot of their own
Everybody needs to be something they are not
Everybody needs to go it alone

Because
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't be what you want to be
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't see what you need to see

Okay
All the time spent hanging on to anything
All the time spent knowing that they are wrong
All the time wasted, stolen back, innocent
You won't get a second more so move it along

Because
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't be what you want to be
Living so free is a tragedy
When you can't see what you need to see

Wishing and hoping and thinking it's you
That's got this all under control
Never a minute has passed you all by
When they haven't invaded your soul

It's not something you can hold
It's not something you can own
It's not something you can buy or steal
You've got it when your alone

Being free is a tragedy
When you don't know yourself
Being free is a tragedy
When you don't know who you are

Being free is a tragedy
When you can't be what you want to be
Being free is a tragedy
When you can't see what you need to see

Being free is a tragedy
When you can't be what you want to be
Being free is a tragedy
When you can't see what you need to see

Lets go
Hey, hey, hey
Alright then
This is the story of your life man

(And other places in the world, it's growing clear that Americans are trigger happy)
