I ran away without calling, without saying a word
Running free again
Until we meet again

I'm a ghost, I'm a toddler, let me pretend not to hear
I'm a Napoleon
Starting a war again

You stand in your own way (your own way)
And you played it well (and you played it well)
If you've been lying (lying)
Now's the time (now's the time to tell)

Parents, please love your children
Before they ruin the world
What are you after? Does it matter?
You wanted a turn

You ran a race without moving
And you won
Stop buying plastic, go to practice
Start giving a shit

You stand in your own way (your own way)
And you played it well (and you played it well)
If you've been lying (lying)
Now's the time (now's the time to tell)
