Tried to fall in line and give it all to get through
All the growing pains and lonely nights awake
Oh I realize I'll never see the people we could be
And they look at us like we can never change

They call us young and dumb
Some kind of heathens
Let's just run far from the feeling
Here's to us making a getaway
Let's get so far gone
They won't believe it
3, 2, 1, countdown to freedom
Here's to us making a getaway

We've done everything to censor all the hatred
All the shades of black and blue, they start to fade
Oh, we take the colors in our minds and place them in the light
And it's looking like our moment to escape

They call us young and dumb
Some kind of heathens
Let's just run far from the feeling
Here's to us making a getaway
Let's get so far gone
They won't believe it
3, 2, 1, countdown to freedom
Here's to us making a getaway

They call us young and dumb
Some kind of heathens
Let's just run far from the feeling
Here's to us making a getaway
Let's get so far gone
They won't believe it
3, 2, 1, countdown to freedom
Here's to us making a getaway
