Tommy's on a mission

He's out to bend the rules

He's made his own decision

He's had enough of school



He wants to be an outlaw

But doesn't have a clue

Someday he'll be famous

We'll read it in the news



Chorus:



God knows where Tommy's gone

'Cause in his world it's all gone wrong

Should we speak up, or play along

When we close our eyes, it goes on and on



Tommy's getting nervous

The walls are closing in

He's so far above us

The air is getting thin



He finally made the headlines

A name without a face

His private revolution

Was lost without a trace



Repeat Chorus
