Settle Down

Where I come from
You can't be yourself
You better settle down
You better cut your hair
If you're gonna be someone
You better be someone else
You better go to church
Or you're gonna burn in hell
Your Sunday Slacks
Had better match your tie
When the preacher waves
You better turn and smile
There's a long drive ahead
But we gotta leave now
I fear the worst
We're going to die
In this town

Don't you wanna be someone
Don't you wanna be someone
Don't you wanna be someone else

The skin your in
Is not your own
You'd better vote in blood
If you want to save your soul
If you believe in fate
I'd cash out now
When the good love calls
I don't want to be around

Don't you wanna be someone
Don't you wanna be someone
I know I wanna be someone
I'd rather be anyone else

You were on the wrong side
Of history
All of my best lines
Don't belong to me
You and I were trying to be
Everything
To everyone
But ourselves
So we tried to get
Away from here
Away from here
Forever

I sleep
I dream
Of times unseen
It was never that great
For as long as we've been
Behind the wheel
Please be still
For once in our lives
We can try and get it right

We'll get it right
