When every song has been sung
When every game has been won
When every bill has been passed
When every check has been cashed
I will look back at this time
And wonder why it felt fine
To just ignore what was there
And to pretend I don’t care
Just to feel like I’m cool
Just to feel in control
When any moment my grip
Could just as easily slip
So why not let it hang out
And why not learn to flout
All those conventions and rules
Only followed by fools
I’m breaking free from those chains
I’m finally through with those games
I’m gonna say what I feel
I’m gonna do it for real
I’m gonna start some new trends
I’m gonna kiss all my friends
I’m gonna learn to play chess
I’m gonna sharply dress
I’m gonna build a new town
And then I’ll burn it all down
I’m gonna do a cartwheel
And say the things I feel
I’m gonna run from my home
I’m gonna greet the unknown
When all the knowledge is found
When all the logic is sound
When all the floors have been swept
When all the secrets are kept
I will look back at this time
And wonder why it felt fine
To just ignore what was there
And to pretend I don’t care
I’m breaking free from those chains
I’m finally through with those games
I’m gonna say what I feel
I’m gonna do it for real
