'82

Oh long ago, there was a dead rat caught in a Chinese trap
And all I had to show, were the ashes of a life that had no chance
It wasn't right, but all I could do
Was be another number that caught in the fuse
It was a lie, with nothing to lose
Something happened in 1982

Are you the enemy?
Let me show you what you did to me

Once I get away from here, I know it's gonna be my time
I've seen to much, to keep me here
I don't want yours, I just want mine

I'm never alone, I'm always in the middle talkin' to myself
And all I want to know, am I really on the road?
I just can't tell, it isn't right
But all I can do, is take it to a level where I can't refuse
It's a lie, I need you to see
Let me show you what you did to me

Once I get away from here, I know it's gonna be my time
I've seen to much, to keep me here
I don't want yours, I just want mine

Before I get away from here, I think I better set you straight
I know my place is miles from here, you'll never understand
I make my fate

Deep down there's a devil inside
He can make you give up everything
Settle if you want to die
Or you can live for a world that must be free

Oh once I get away from here, I know it's gonna be my time
I've seen to much, to keep me here
I don't want yours, I just want mine

Before I get away from here, I think I better set you straight
I know my place is miles from here, you'll never understand
I make my fate

Once I get away from here
Once I get away from here
I know it's gonna be my time
