Convention Prevention

Ten Years After

I'd like to reach out to you

And learn just how do you do

So we can still relate

I'd like to open my mind

So you can come in and find

How we communicate

There's a chemical reaction

And it's causing an attraction

From you to me

I am not one for convention

But I have a good intention

For you from me

Rain is falling and a thunderbolt is crashing through my head

And there's people and pain all around me

Someone is calling and electric sparks are everywhere I tread

My life, it seems, is a sequence of dreams

And there's people and pain all around me

I'm going down in a black elevator

'Cause the big masturbator's got his eye on me

I'm going down 'cause my brain is on fire

And my soul is a liar 'cause I tried to be free

Tried to be free, tried to be free...

Freedom in your mind you can have when you dead

Freedom in your life just depends on your head

Freedom in your heart can alas never be

'Cause no one on this earth has been born to be free

Born to be free, born to me free...

All of my life I have tried to be free

All of my life I have learned all I see

All of my life I have searched for a clue

All of my life I have tried to be true

Tried to be true, tried to be true...
