Songtext von Bars To Me

Early in the morning to an afternoon of toil and despair You're always shooting yourself in the foot From the food you eat, right down to the clothes you wear And the nights get long and lonely And the sun refuses to shine On a life that goes from day to day With no reason and no time All over town, the people resound with "We just wanna be free" No other way to face the day, that's what it means to me All of your life, you're under the knife, slaving to routine No mistakes to make if you wanna escape, looks like bars to me They shut you up the moment that you mention your distractions and your dreams So you shut your mouth and do the best you can To live a life of secrecy And you sing a song so free despite the threat of harsh remand And you laugh to yourself at those who keep their heads buried in the sand
