Breaking Away

All my life I've lived like you wanted
Feeling like a fake and playing the fool
Everytime you said jump, I jumped and
When you said to follow, I followed you

Then I saw that face in the mirror
And everything turned black
My heart started thumping, blood started pumping
There was a stranger looking back at me

And I knew, then and there
Something had to change

Between you and me,
It's my life, it's my destiny

My heart is reeling
No need to conceal it
I'm gonna live my life
And make my own way

It's satisfaction
No need for reaction
I'm hitting the streets
And breaking away

I have seen a number of things
Happen in this world
People say that the only way
to get by is to win

I believe the numbers will tell us
Everything we know
Life is just a giant diaster
When you wanna rule the world!

My heart is reeling
No need to conceal it
I'm gonna live my life
And make my own way

It's satisfaction
No need for reaction
I'm hitting the streets
And breaking away

Woooh oooh oh oh oh

Woooh oooh oh oh oh

And what you need to know right now
Is that time ain't on your side
So take your life into you hands
Don't give it up to fate.

Life is like a picture show
With you upon the stage
If you read your lines, do what your told
Nothings ever gonna change!

My heart is reeling
No need to conceal it
I'm gonna live my life
And make my own way

It's satisfaction
No need for reaction
I'm hitting the streets
And breaking away

My heart is reeling
No need to conceal it
I'm gonna live my life
And make my own way

It's satisfaction
No need for reaction
I'm hitting the streets
And breaking away ...

Breaking Away ...

Breaking, breaking, breaking, breaking away!
