If life is such a drag and they can do it better   Let them take you miles from home tonight   If life is such a drag and they can do it better   Let them take you miles from home      You say that you care for the people they fed   Then tell them what you want to do   Is it love or revenge to pay for dad's sins?   Tell them what you want to do      Tell them why the hell you chose   To let them take you from your good life.      If life is such a drag and this will make it better   Let them take you miles from home tonight   If daddy isn't there and mommy doesn't care   Let them take you miles from home      From a smile to a stare, naive to aware   Tell them what you want to do   A rich little girl is taking a stand   tell them what you want to do      Tell them why the hell you chose    To let them take you from your good life      Is it better to change up the clothes that you wear?   To pick up a gun and put your fist in the air?   Was it sad to see reality and what's really out there?   Tell them what you want to do      In a burned out squat in the suburbs   A lover is dead   Lawyers wait   There's wanted SLA   And a little girl on the move   In the end you'll always choose    The silver spoon   It's what's best for you      So tell them why did you    Let them take you from your good life?
