It's my time to be free
To live as I please
Like the Ramones at CBGBs
Or Banksy on British streets
Slinging dirty guitars
For the love of the sound
Speaking my mind
Even if no one's around
Fuck work-week blues
I want passion reds
To paint this town with
It's my time to fucking own
Not once – not this alone
27 years spent ago
I say the rest I'm owed
(Ten plus years)
Spent in a van
(Ten plus years)
Spent paying my debts
Finally I said
"This shit's for me"
So I started a punk rock symphony
(Chorus)
To hell with the world
(Hey!)
I'm here to create
To hell with the chorus of critics
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
To hell I'm gone
It's my time to be free
To live as I please
Like the Ramone, like Banksy,
Like anybody with a dream
I speak in chords
And think in score
4/4 vision
In a one track world
(Chorus)
To hell with the world
(Hey!)
I'm here to create
To hell with the chorus of critics
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
To hell I'm gone
