Woke Up Screaming
I don't really care what they say
I don't really care what they do
I just know I'm sick of this crowd and of you
The cops they took me and beat me blue
It wasn't what I was or what I do
It was just being alive on my own side
I took a chance on the other side
Got off this downhill slide stopped
Wastin' my time, why don't you?
Had a dream, saw a scheme
Saw a man hang on a beam
Next thing was, I woke up screaming
I wasn't dreaming
It wasn't what I was or what I do
It wasn't anything to do with you
It was just, just being alive
Took a chance on the other side
Got off this downhill slide stopped
Wastin' my time, why don't you?
