Caution to the Wind

What the hell am I doing here?
Trapped in this place all of these years
Will I stay or go?
Will I lose or gain?
I'm getting out of here
You'll never see this face again

I threw a caution to the wind
I said "Goodbye, I'm never coming back again."
I threw a caution to the wind
I said goodbye, I waved goodbye

I closed my eyes
I slammed the door
Shut out the noise of the routine
Searching for direction
Searching for an opportunity
They said "This is your chance to prove yourself to be all that you can be
This is your shot to break free from your life of hypocrisy."
You gave up on all of your beliefs
I won't let that happen to me
Oh no no...

What the hell is going on?
This TV nation, Deaf, dumb, blind, and too doped up to see what's wrong
The flashing photographs
15 minutes of fame
This is not our life story
Our friends don't have hotels for names
And I've got breaking news:
This song's a big "Fuck You!"
I'm coming out of here
I've got nothing to lose
