I'm a member of the motley crew

Pleasing the rich and kings

When I make 'em laugh

Nobody even cares

What's inside my mind

Don't seem to get what I'm looking for

And I can't stand it anymore

Can't you see

Can't you see



I sit and wait til the big boss's calling me

How I wish I could hideaway

You'll see me smile

But I'm hurt inside

How I wish I could break away

I can't stand it anymore

Don't wanna play the fool no more

Gotta break away

Gotta break away



When you gaze at me it's like

A look into a mirror

And here is what you're bound to see

Someone like you

Leading a kind

Of life that's killing me

I'm gonna get what I'm yearning for

Break out and play my part no more

That's what I say

That's what I say



Don't drag me down

Don't push me 'round

Don't drag me down

Don't push me 'round



I'm gonna get what I'm yearning for

Break out and play my part no more

That's what I say

That's what I say



Don't drag me down

Don't push me 'round

Don't drag me down

Don't push me 'round



I'm gonna get what I'm yearning for

Break out and play my part no more

That's what I say

That's what I say



Don't drag me down

Don't push me 'round

Don't drag me down

Don't push me 'round



I'll be just what I wanna be

Wanna be - desperately

I'll be just what I wanna be

Wanna be - desperately
