It looks like an accident
Caused by the government
Good people with good intent
Paving the highway down

It seeps into the water
Where the bad side is burning
And it's not where they lead us
It's in the act of turning

The way things are geared here
The way it's all framed
The names are named
And now they're all naming names

They're putting on human faces
Say "There is no alternative"
[Unverified] carved in stone
And I want nothing

lt's what I'm trained to believe in
But I can still dream of things
That have never been
But someday will be

Trapped inside an ugly life
Stuck in my cocoon
I needed some wings to make it right
I had to fly away real soon

I've busted out and headed straight
Now, I'm lovin' life
'Cuz nothin' can get in my way
I'm the prettiest thing in the sky

Break me, break me
You think you can take me, take me

You're wrong, wrong
Been held down too long, long
Higher, higher and
I'm gone, gone can't keep me down
'Cuz this is the way I wanna live
There is no alternative

All the colors of your world
Are painted onto me
I'm sick of bein' a black and white girl
Now finally I'm free

I busted through the atmosphere
Into the clouds outside
'Cuz up on top is where I'll stay
Yeah, I'll do what I like

Break me break me
You think you can take me take me

You're wrong, wrong
Been held down too long, long
Higher, higher and
I'm gone, gone can't keep me down
'Cuz this is the way I wanna live
There is no alternative

Everybody knows that I can't be told
To be anything but me
Be who I wanna be
Change my life so suddenly
Just like hey baby how 'bout now I'm free

You're wrong, wrong
Been held down too long, long
Higher, higher and
I'm gone, gone can't keep me down
'Cuz this is the way I wanna live
There is no alternative
