[Verse 1]
I'm a man, a man of simple pleasures
I got all I need, so give me whisky measures
With dyslexic eyes I'm seeing very clearly
By the way, I'm on my way

[Pre-Chorus]
But all of my life, I've been treated like a fool
But I'm no one's fool

[Chorus]
Here I go once again trying hard to pretend
There's a future in your man made rules
I'll be governed by the road, get to shed this heavy load
I see no future, so leave me alone in the past

[Verse 2]
I am told, the world is nearly ending
But when I look outside the birds are always singing
You throw sticks and bones
Remember every dog will have it's day, I'm on my way

[Pre-Chorus]
But all of my life, I've been treated like a fool
But I'm no one's fool
[Chorus]
Here I go once again trying hard to pretend
There's a future in your man made rules
I'll be governed by the road, get to shed this heavy load
I see no future, so leave me alone in the past

[Bridge]
Go on
Let the righteous guide you
Home to where you belong
I'll stay
Listen to my favourite tunes
That's where I belong

[Outro]
You won't take me for a ride
I'm far too fast for you to keep up with me
You won't take me for a ride
Never catch them really need no money
You won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride (I'm not gonna be standing in the line
Waiting for you just to pick me out)
You won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
