THE LYRICS:

Picked up a signal on my radio
From a place in the world I know I’ll never go
The government’s trying to play games with my head
Thank God for my friends or I’d probably be dead
I know everything there ain’t nothing I know
Got a feeling pretty soon it’s all gonna blow
Don’t know who I am or who I should be
Crossed out by the “X” that you put on me

Chorus:
But I don’t need anyone but me
No I don’t need anyone but me
Still I don’t know what it means to be free.

My best friend’s queen of aisle five
This town needs us to keep fast food alive
Trapped by the machine I’ll never break free
I’m scared cause my dad was a lot like me
Still looking for the road to get me out of this place
If you think I’m a hero then you’ve never even seen my face
The more we are friends the more I’ll put you down
I’ve never learned to love what I’m always around

Repeat Chorus

When I’m gone what will they say
Nothing means nothing anyway

Repeat Chorus
