The Perfect Escape

They tell you daily how to think and feel
Give you advice and their version of real
It's common sense, you know it stands to reason
And if you disagree, it's some kind of treason
Ooh, I heard the news today
They're giving nothing away
But I got something to say
I want to sing and be perfect
But reason seems to be in short supply
And when they speak a little part of me dies
I got a plan to spark a revolution
I'll be my perfect self and that's the solution
Ooh, I heard the news today
They're giving nothing away
But I got something to say
I want to sing and be perfect
Just Like a spaceman, alone in the sky
Just like a lover, who never lies
Just like a diamond, that's never been cut
Just Like an open door that's never been shut
Ooh, I heard the news today
They're giving nothing away
But I got something to say
I want to sing and be perfect
