Angels with dirty faces
Darkness begins to take me tonight
Good friends, bad habits
In the end we're all tragic, so why?

And I can't go on like this forever

So I started to run, I put down the gun
Oh I'm learning to be free
Looked up at the sky, started to fly
It feels better to be me
And you can't take nothing from me, 'cause I'm free

Wake up, move forward
Shake off that cold shoulder tonight
Relapse, you're walking backwards
Just relax, forget your problems tonight

No I can't go on like this forever

So I started to run, I put down the gun
Oh I'm learning to be free
Looked up at the sky, started to fly
It feels better to be me
No you can't take nothing from me, 'cause I'm free
And I breathe so the change is up to you
So be free and release all the shit you used to do

I can't go on like this forever

So I started to run, I put down the gun
Oh I'm learning to be free
Looked up at the sky, started to fly
It feels better to be me

I started to run, I put down the gun
Oh I'm learning to be free
Looked up at the sky, started to fly
It feels better to be me
And no you can't take nothing from me, 'cause I'm free
