Angels with dirty faces Darkness begins to take me tonight Good friends, bad habits In the end we're all tragic, so why? And I can't go on like this forever So I started to run, I put down the gun Oh I'm learning to be free Looked up at the sky, started to fly It feels better to be me And you can't take nothing from me, 'cause I'm free Wake up, move forward Shake off that cold shoulder tonight Relapse, you're walking backwards Just relax, forget your problems tonight No I can't go on like this forever So I started to run, I put down the gun Oh I'm learning to be free Looked up at the sky, started to fly It feels better to be me No you can't take nothing from me, 'cause I'm free And I breathe so the change is up to you So be free and release all the sh** you used to do I can't go on like this forever So I started to run, I put down the gun Oh I'm learning to be free Looked up at the sky, started to fly It feels better to be me I started to run, I put down the gun Oh I'm learning to be free Looked up at the sky, started to fly It feels better to be me And no you can't take nothing from me, 'cause I'm free
