Story behind the song
It's just a cry for freedom rant!
Lyrics
The broken insect drags limbs in the gutter. Feebly crawls as I stumble and stutter, As faces change I try to utter "I love you and everything is beautiful." Stand up for yourself, be who you are, And get what you need or you won't get far, I almost got run down by a car; Some people don't like hitch-hikers. The nothingness atmosphere everywhere Destroys creativity and cuts long hair But I'm not ashamed: I'd like to stand bare But I'm afraid I'd only get busted. They'll stop and search you When you're on a search And everybody leaves everyone else in the lurch Others are mainly the victims of church I don't want to be a victim of anything. Chorus: Everybody wants to know you when you're famous But no one cares about you when You're down, down, down, Powers that be they only try to tame us, I'm sick to death of being your clown.
