When this world's such a mess
I try hard I do my best
Won't get bogged down like all the rest
Got no hampsters in my head, no monkey's on my back
No chains and shackles to hold me down
I wanna fly, I wanna fly cuz
I'm alive, I'm alive

The world could be such a better place
Who needs the garbage it's all a waste
Don't need the drugs, don't need the booze
Use that stuff you'll only lose
Big decision, make it right
It's a battle, win the fight
Everything's gonna be alright
I wanna fly, I wanna fly
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

Screams in rooms, filled with negativity, filled with gloom
All the walking trash through the ones that have to live like that
Not me, I'm no screwed up zombie, not of the living dead
I wanna think, have a clear head

Places to go, people to meet
Cant do things with your head in the sheets
Tearing down all the walls, got the world by the balls
Got no hampsters in my head, no monkey's on my back
No chains and shackles to hold me down
I wanna laugh I wanna cry cuz
I'm alive, I'm alive
