Escape Lyrics & Video

Hes just a young boy out of school
Livin his world like he wants to
Theyre makin laws, but they dont understand
Turns a boy in to a fightin man
They wont take me
They wont break me
No one could tell him what to do
Had to learn everything the hard way
Hes on the street, breakin all the rules
Im tellin you that hes nobodys fool
They wont take me
They wont break me
Now hes leavin, gettin out from this masquerade
Oh gotta go

Im finally out in the clear and Im free
Ive got dreams Im livin for
Im movin on where theyll never find me
Rollin on to anywhere
Ill break away, yes Im on my way
Leavin today, yes Im on my way
Just when you think you had it all figured out
Runnin scared can change your mind
I never knew I had so much to give
How hard times can fool ya
Oh Im okay, Im alright
Feelin good out on your own
Ill break away, Ill break away tonight
Ive got dreams Im livin for
Ill break away
Yes, Im on my way
Im leaving, leavin today
Yes, Im on my way
This is my escape
Yes, Im on my way
Ill break away
Yes, Im on my way

Journey the Escape Video Game Promo 1983: A classic commercial for the first rock video game "Journey the Escape" shown in 1983. I can remember joking about the line "I can get you in the Forum!" with friends back in those days. (video from YouTube)
