Now it's time, to shake it all up to be free Now it's time, to make us some room to let us be Oh, it feels so bad Yes it feels so bad When everything good looks so bad When everything right goes so wrong I am up, to break it all down what's in my way I won't stop, until I am where I'm going to stay No one holds me back No, no one holds me back Don't want to be what I'm not But it's gotta be myself who breaks my neck I here and you look there, I know it's got to be somewhere We look around and search around and walk around and hear around We keep on looking 'til we know what for If you don't know it, I don't know it, we don't know it, who will know it? All of us don't know what we should know, maybe one day we'll know But anyway we've got to make a stop Over my head, look over my head you won't see no halo It's driving me mad, I must hold it back inside When the sinner searches sin, it's all of us When we finally search inside, it's under us We keep on looking anyway If we don't find it who must pay? All I've ever done I've done to you! In my mind, the battle goes on 'til I give up Will we find, the key of life we once have dropped? Do you really care? Tell me you really care! You may find Mr. Blame But the guilt of life burns everywhere Give me light to see my inside, give me light to see my sin I'd never do what I regret, I've never done anything bad You must be joking when you point at me! Hey! Don't you blame me! Don't you touch me! Won't you ever leave me be? I want to live! Don't want to think! Why should I give what I can drink? Man! Life is short so I take what I need! Over your head... When the sinner... Pain! I feel inside it's such a Shame! No one fights fair, but who' to Blame! Might be the game of life but it ain't' over Now! I walk my way firm any How! My conscience speaks and there are Doubts! But nothing's sure in lifeand it ain't over Now! I look here... Over my head... When the sinner...
