There Is No Alternative

[Verse 1]
Trapped inside an ugly life
Stuck in my cocoon
I needed some wings to make it right
I had to fly away real soon
I busted out and headed straight
Now, I'm loving life
'Cause nothing can get in my way
I'm the prettiest thing in the sky

[Pre-Chorus]
Break me, break me
You think you can
Take me, take me

[Chorus]
Oh-oh
You're wrong, wrong
Been held down too long, long
Higher, higher
But I'm gone, gone
'Cause this is the way I wanna live
There is no alternative

[Verse 2]
All the colors of the world
Painted onto me
I'm sick of being a black and white girl
Now, finally, I'm free
I'm busting through the atmosphere
Into the clouds, I'll fly
'Cause up on top is where I'll stay
Now I'll do what I like

[Pre-Chorus]
Break me, break me
You think you can
Take me, take me

[Chorus]
Oh-oh
You're wrong, wrong
Been held down too long, long
Higher, higher
But I'm gone, gone
'Cause this is the way I wanna live
There is no alternative
This is the way I wanna live
There is no alternative

[Bridge]
Everybody knows that I can't be told
To be anything but me
Be who I wanna be
Change my life so suddenly
Just like... [?]
I'm free
Now that I know that life is cold
I can always be strong, negativity's gone
I was off, but now I'm on
Put the [?] right behind me

[Breakdown]
Wrong, wrong
Been held down too long, long
Higher, higher
But I'm gone, gone
'Cause this is the way I wanna live
There is no alternative

[Chorus]
You're wrong, wrong
Been held down too long, long
(Held down too long)
Higher, higher
But I'm gone, gone
'Cause this is the way I wanna live
There is no alternative
This is the way I wanna live
There is no alternative

[Outro]
This is the way I wanna live
There is no alternative
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
