Tommy's got a brother named Thomas   And another brother named Tom   Their father's a professional fighter   And I think so is their mom      Gotta get away, gotta get away   Get away from Tommy   But Tommy won't get away   Won't stay away from me   Get away from me, Tommy      Tommy gets his wisdom through excess   Tommy don't hold no scorn   Transcends limits of his culture   The very one from where I was born      Gotta get away, gotta get away   Get away from Tommy   But Tommy won't get away   Won't stay away from me   Get away from me, Tommy      Tommy don't follow no tradition   The song that he sings is his own   I can hear the shame bells ringing   I don't wanna die alone      Gotta get away, gotta get away   Get away from Tommy   One time and he won't get away   Won't stay away from me      Gotta get away, gotta get away   Get away from Tommy   But Tommy won't get away   Won't stay away from me   Get away from me, Tommy
