Breakin' away
Breakin' away
It's hard leaving
Walking away from someone just to start again
We are ever needing
Keeping that someone to care just to give us strength
So as life changes with every day
We got to move forward
There's got to be a better way
Start over with every chance
I will be there
Now I'm breakin' away (breakin' away)
All I needed was time and room to grow
I got something to say (breakin' away)
Now I know I can make it on my own
Now I'm breakin'away (Yeah, Yeah)
It's hard giving
Giving out all that you've got when there's no return
When you find you're living
Living for everyone else there's so much to learn
So as life changes with every day
We got to move forward
There's got to be a better way
Start over with every chance
I will be there
Now I'm breakin' away (breakin' away)
All I needed was time and room to grow
I got something to say (breakin' away)
Now I know I can make it on my own
Now I'm breakin'away (Yeah, Yeah)
Seems like I've waited
Seems like it's taken forever (just to break free)
It feels like I've wasted my life
Now that we're not together.(Roger McGuinn and Jacques Levy)
I want to grow up to be a politician
And take over this beautiful land
I want to grow up to be a politician
And be the old U.S. of A.'s number one man
I'll always be tough but I'll never be scary
I want to shoot guns or butter my bread
I'll work in the towns or conservate the prairies
And you can believe the future's ahead
I'll give the young the right to vote as soon as they mature
But spare the rod and spoil the child to help them feel secure
And if I win election day I might give you a job
I'll sign a bill to help the poor to show I'm not a snob
I'll open my door I'm charging no admission
And you can be sure I'll give you my hand
I want to grow up to be a politician
And take over this beautiful land
Instrumental (Brass Band)
I'll make you glad you got me in with everything I do
And I'll defend until the end the old red white and blue
I want to grow up to be a politician
And take over this beautiful land
And take over this beautiful land
And take over this beautiful land
