He's just a young boy out of school   Livin' his world like he wants to   They're makin' laws, but they don't understand   Turns a boy in to a fightin' man      They won't take me   They won't break me      No one could tell him what to do   Had to learn everything the hard way   He's on the street breakin' all the rules   I'm tellin' you that he's nobody's fool      They won't take me   They won't break me   No, no, no      Oh now he's leavin'   Gettin' out of the masquerade   Oh gotta go      I'm finally out in the clear and I'm free   I've got dreams I'm livin' for   I'm movin' on where they'll never find me   Rollin' on to anywhere      I'll break away   Yes I'm on my way   Leavin' today   Yes I'm on my way      Just when you think you had it all figured out   Runnin' scared can change your mind   I never knew I had so much to give   How hard times can fool you      Oh I'm okay, I'm alright   Feelin' good out on your own   I'll break away, I'll break away tonight   I've got dreams I'm livin' for      I'll break away   Yes, I'm on my way   I'm leaving', leavin' today   Yes, I'm on my way      This is my escape   Yes, I'm on my way   I'll break away   Yes, I'm on my way      I'll break away   Yes, I'm on my way   I'm leaving', leavin' today   Yes, I'm on my way      This is my escape   Yes, I'm on my way   I'll break away   Yes, I'm on my escape
