Bars To Me Lyrics - Singles - The Gc5

Early in the morning to an afternoon of toil and despair 

You're always shooting yourself in the foot 

From the food you eat, right down to the clothes you wear 

And the nights get long and lonely 

And the sun refuses to shine 

On a life that goes from day to day 

With no reason and no time 

All over town, the people resound with "We just wanna be free" 

No other way to face the day, that's what it means to me 

All of your life, you're under the knife, slaving to routine 

No mistakes to make if you wanna escape, looks like bars to me 

They shut you up the moment that you mention your distractions and your dreams 

So you shut your mouth and do the best you can 

To live a life of secrecy 

And you sing a song so free despite the threat of harsh remand 

And you laugh to yourself at those who keep their heads buried in the sand
