[Verse 1]

They, told me that I was

No good at all, such a waster

And, suddenly I was

Out of the cool

Stuck with the fools

Not, that much I can do

I'm out of the crew

Hear the lights go out

What should I do?

Stuck to this chair

And yet I know

[Chorus]

Gotta break away!

It's not my style

I gotta get away

Here and now today

[Verse 2]

Out in half

I'm already there

In my head I know it

Five, no four more steps

Take me to the door

Open up I'm falling!

One of those days

Where the lights go out

And yet I smile

[Chorus]

Gotta break away!

Life's like that and I gotta get away!

Get away!

Here and now today

Gotta break away!

Break away, break away!

Get away!

Here and now today

[Bridge]

Here I am as I stand

I can feel you think "Such a waster."

It's ok, I don't care

Didn't wanna stay stuck with the fools

Skating down Park Avenue

I realize my time is now and here

Ready to go, being sensible

It's just not sensible

[Chorus]

Gotta break away!

It's not my style and I gotta get away!

Here and now today

Gotta break away!

Life's like that and I gotta get away

Get away!

We're in it all the way!

[Chorus]

Gotta break away!

It's not my style and I gotta get away

Here and now today!

Gotta break away!

Life's like that and I gotta get away

Get away!

We're in it all the way!
