Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look
The systemʼs in control, it's all ran by the book
I've got to get away so I can clear my mind,
Escape is what I need,
Away from electric eyes
No matter where I am, I see my face around
They pin lies on my name and push them town to town
Don't have a place to run, but there's no need to hide,
I've got to find a place,
So I won't hide away
Escape, got to get away from a system loose in the world today
Escape, the pressure that I face from relationships, that'll go away
Escape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Escape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta please nobody but me
Girl Interlude
Sometimes I feel like
I've gotta get away
I tried to share my life with someone I could love
But games and money is all she ever thought of
How could that be my fault when she gambled and lost?
I'm tired of silly games,
It's time to make a change
Why is it I can't do whatever I want to?
When itʼs my personal life and I don't live for you
So don't you try to tell me what is right for me
You be concerned about you,
I can do what I want to
The systemʼs in control, it's all ran by the book
