Old man says, (There is something he can see) "I got to work today" (There's nothing where I wanted to be) I don't want to, but I have to stay (The taxman's coming after me) That's all right, I've got some beer today (They're showing the people awake like me) All I want to do is sail away I just want to go where I can do as I please Up on the mountain or down by the sea No clouds in the sky No war on TV No people in power And no part of me Where no one can tell me how to live my life No one to control me like a wife Living life my way, I'd be so free Oh, don't you wish you could be like me? Looking back now, I was such a fool (Despite all my careful planning) Following these laws and every rule (And all those pleasures money can bring) Didn't have an idea of my own back in school (Didn't learn a thing) I just wanted a house and a pool (Maybe a wife and a diamond ring) Oh whoa I just want to go where I can do as I please Up on the mountain or down by the sea No clouds in the sky No war on TV No people in power And no part of me With no one to tell me how to live my life No one to control me like a wife Living life my way, I'd be so free Oh, don't you wish the whole world would agree? If I had one chance to do it all again (If you're thinking that you should have let her stay) There'd be so many things left to romance (Maybe you were and should have and that's okay) I wouldn't spend so much time flirting around the bend (Got to get back, starting today) So I must live now for now and not for then (Get back from the past and live for today) I just want to go where I can do as I please Up on the mountain or down by the sea No clouds in the sky No war on TV No people in power And no part of me With no one to tell me how to live my life No one to control me like a wife Living life my way, I'd be so free Oh, don't you wish we could be like me? |
