Hey, I heard it from the state
They told me you were never gonna let me get away
And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait
I had to get away, I had to get away, ay, ay
Hey, you try to compensate
For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate
You showed me all your letters
that I should've confiscated
Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away
Talking to ears that have been deaf
For as long as I can remember
A self-medicated handicap, so I speak to myself
And I try so hard to get his stupid deaf ears to hear
That I've become illiterate, I've become dumb
(Ya hear me? Ya hear me? Ya hear me?)
When I come through, you were dark blue
And I saved you from your darker days
Born to take care of you
Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase
Hey, I heard it from the state
They told me you were never gonna let me get away
And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait
I had to get away, I had to get away, I had to get away
