A Way Out

Everybody wants to have some fun
But never stay for cleaning
When the party's done (uh-uh)
We're the ones who overfill our plates
Until there's nothing left to celebrate

Smashing plastic cups under our feet
We bring the house down dancing to the beat, beat, beat
Watch all the chicken shits looking for a free seat
No air conditioning
Could kill our boiling heat

And with the lights on or out
We shout our drunken "fuck you's"
To the ones we imagine
To be telling us what to do
But we left all the bosses
Locked up in their offices till Monday
That's when we can put them back to use
Oh, yeah

Baby, they have no way out
No way out

Everybody wants to have some fun
But there's a time and place
And there's a way it's done (uh-huh)
We're the kings and queens without kingdoms
Our salaries are boundaries for our freedoms

Oh, and with the lights on or out
We shout our drunken "fuck you's"
To the ones we imagine
To be telling us what to do
Children of the Free World
We believed in the stories we were told
Fairytales
We believed we would never grow old

But baby, there's no way out
No way out
No baby, there's no way out
No way out
I need the hell, I need the hell
I need the hell out
But baby, there's no way out
No way out

There's no end to this
No end to this madness
No bugs in my mattress
No better to do
No good reason for treason
No reason to please anyone
We held on to our guns
Till the day they said "shoot"

Now baby, there's no way out
No way out
Now baby, there's no way out
No way out
I need the hell, I need the hell
I need the hell out
But baby, there's no way out.
