[00:18.31]Some will say it's too late
[00:20.45]So don't change your story
[00:22.84]There's too much at stake to grow
[00:27.48]Yesterday was so great
[00:29.45]Just bask in the glory
[00:31.89]Don't let your feelings show
[00:34.92]And I say, oh yeah
[00:37.78]Like a man with condition
[00:40.73]I wait for my heart to stop, oh
[00:44.18]And they say, "Stay down
[00:46.45]Got a plan, hold that position
[00:49.83]You can't afford a flop"
[00:53.37]Pack my suitcase with my game face
[00:57.87]Take the same place
[00:59.95]And put away the dreams I had
[01:02.36]Let my hair grow, find some old clothes
[01:06.86]Let the world know
[01:09.05]That my glory days were plaid
[01:13.16]I'm not asking for permission
[01:16.23]Are you ready for me to be me? Oh
[01:22.59]Just pass the ammunition
[01:24.93]This prisoner's about to bust free from the chains
[01:31.15]For so long you told me to keep it familiar
[01:35.44]Just play what they all would buy
[01:40.18]I can wear this blindfold, stick to your story
[01:44.23]But I gotta ask myself "Why?"
[01:47.62]And I play those songs for so many seasons
[01:53.44]'Til I'm sure I'm losing my mind
[01:56.70]And I say, "Oh no, gotta have a much better reason
[02:02.28]To leave all my dreams behind"
[02:06.17]Others change it, rearrange it
[02:10.52]Stay the same thing
[02:12.63]And become your favorite fad
[02:14.82]With the see-through, I gotta be true
[02:19.41]I can't be you
[02:22.59]Polyester comes in plaid
[02:25.91]I'm not asking for permission
[02:28.94]Are you ready for me to be me?
[02:34.77]Lord, pass some ammunition
[02:37.55]This prisoner's about to bust free from your chains
[02:43.82]I'm more than just excited
[02:46.22]Like a hundred pounds of monkey off my back
[02:49.38](I've got to find myself out)
[02:52.69]Now everybody's invited
[02:55.30]To ride this train 'til we run clean out of track
[02:58.23]Clean out of track
[03:44.36]With the see-through, I gotta be true
[03:48.86]I can't be you
[03:52.09]Polyester comes in plaid
[03:57.62]I'm not asking for permission
[04:00.68]Are you ready for me to be me?
[04:07.18]Pass some ammunition
[04:09.26]This prisoner's about to bust free from the chains
[04:15.63]I'm more than just excited
[04:18.14]Like a hundred pounds of monkey off my back (I've got to find myself out)
[04:24.44]Now everyone's invited
[04:27.08]To ride this train 'til we run clean out of track, (oh)
[04:33.55]I'm not asking for permission
[04:36.19]Are you ready for me to be me? (Oh)
[04:42.38]Just pass some ammunition
[04:44.33]This prisoner's about to bust free from the chains
[04:51.46]I'm more than just excited
[04:53.90]Like a hundred pounds of monkey off my back
