Lyrics:

Oh, long ago
There was a dead rat caught in a Chinese trap
And all I had to show
Were the ashes of a life that had no chance

It wasn't right, but all I could do
Was be another number that couldn't refuse
And what a lie, with nothing to lose
Something happened in 1982!

Are you the enemy?
Let me show you what you did to me!

Once I get away from here
I know it's gonna be my time
I've seen too much to keep me here
I don't want yours, I just want mine

I'm never alone
I'm always in the middle talking to myself
And all I want to know
Am I really on the road?
I just can't tell...

It isn't right, but all I can do
Is take it to a level where I can't refuse
It's a lie, I need you to see
Let me show you what you did to me!

Once I get away from here
I know it's gonna be my time
I've seen too much to keep me here
I don't want yours, I just want mine

Before I get away from here
I think I better set you straight
I know my place is miles from here
You'll never understand, I make my fate

Deep down, there's a devil inside...
He can make you give up everything
Settle, if you want to die...
Or you can live for a world that must be free!

Oh, once I get away from here
I know it's gonna be my time
I've seen too much to keep me here
I don't want yours, I just want mine

Before I get away from here
I think I better set you straight
I know my place is miles from here
You'll never understand, I make my fate

Once I get away from here...

Oh, once I get away from here
I know it's gonna be my time!
