If life is such a drag and they can do it better
Let them take you miles from home tonight
If life is such a drag and they can do it better
Let them take you miles from home
You say that you care for the people they fed
Then tell them what you want to do
Is it love or revenge to pay for dad's sins?
Tell them what you want to do
Tell them why the hell you chose
To let them take you from your good life
If life is such a drag and this will make it better
Let them take you miles from home tonight
If daddy isn't there, and mommy doesn't care
Let them take you miles from home
From a smile to a stare, naive to aware
Tell them what you want to do
A rich little girl is taking a stand
Tell them what you want to do
Tell them why the hell you chose to let them
Take you from your good life
Is it better to change up the clothes that you wear?
To pick up a gun and put your fist in the air?
Was it sad to see reality and what's really out there?
Tell them what you want to do
In a burned out squat in the suburbs a lover is dead,
Lawyers wait, there's wanted SLA,
And a little girl on the move
In the end you'll always choose the silver spoon
It's what's best for you
So tell them why did you let them
Take you from your good life?
