The Patty Hearst Syndrome

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If life is such a drag and they can do it better Let them take you miles from home tonight If life is such a drag and they can do it better Let them take you miles from home [Pre-Chorus] You say that you care for the people you fed Tell them what you want to do, tell them what you want to do Love or revenge to pay for dad's sins? Tell them what you want to do, tell them why the hell you'd choose [Chorus] To let them take you from your good life? Why did you let them take you from your good life? [Verse 2] If life is such a drag and this will make it better Let them take you miles from home tonight If daddy isn't there and mommy doesn't care Let them take you miles from home [Pre-Chorus] From a smile to a stare, naive to aware Tell them what you want to do, tell them what you want to do Rich little girl is taking a stand Tell them what you want to do, tell them why the hell you'd choose [Chorus] To let them take you from your good life? Why did you let them take you from your good life? [Bridge] Is it better to change all the clothes that you wear? To pick up a gun and put your fist in the air? Was it sad to see reality and what's really out there? Tell them what you want to do, tell them what you want to do In a burned-out squat in the suburbs A lover's dead, lawyers wait Wanted SLA, a little girl on the moon In the end you'll always choose the silver spoon It's what's best for you [Chorus] So tell them why did you let them take you from your good life Why did you let them take you from your good life? Why did you let them take you from your good life? Why did you let them take you from your good life? Why did you?
