My Own Way

There comes a point in your life where either as an individual or as part of a group you have to stand up and tell all of the phonies and negative influences in your life to "fuck off." It could be the managers in your workplace, the politicians who are out for themselves, the hypocrites who preach about compassion and love and then act with malice and hate in their hearts.

Lyrics

Song and lyrics by Richard Lehmann (ASCAP)

Casting your lot with the crowd
Chasing the cult and the loud
Now look what you have become
And to what you have succumbed
You were too good for us all
Oh, how the mighty did fall
And so the rope is with you
To climb up or swing from at noon

And I’m going, yes I’m going, to find my own way

You said you meant us no harm
Accused us of twisting your arm
And now the facts are revealed
Your future is signed and it’s sealed
You were too good for us all
Oh, how the mighty did fall
And so the rope is with you
To climb up or swing from at noon

And I’m going, yes I’m going, to find my own way

Bridge:
You’re told you are the only one
You’re told you are the chosen one
You are the end of all discussion
You are above all repercussions
You think you are the magic wand
You think you are the glue that bonds

Bridge (after solo)
Your time is marked un-available
Your vote is deemed un-assailable
Let this lesson prove you wrong
We’ve been working, getting strong

Casting your lot with the crowd
Chasing the cult and the loud
And now the facts are revealed
Your future is signed and it’s sealed
You were too good for us all
Oh, how the mighty did fall
And so the rope is with you
To climb up or swing from at noon

And I’m going, yes I’m going to find
Yeah, I’m going, yes I’m going to find
And I’m going, yes I’m going to find… my own way
