lyrics

I wasn’t born with a criminal mind.
Now it seems my actions
will have me doing time.
Breaking in homes,
things I’ve taken.
But please believe me,
it’s out of desperation.

I guess anything goes
when you’re holding on holding on.
This is obscene.
Where are my dreams?

You wouldn’t believe
the people you meet.
When you’re out there running,
on the street.
A million people you just don’t know.
It’s like everyone out
there is Jane or John Doe.

I guess anything goes
when you’re holding on holding on.
This is obscene.
I have no dreams.

We never had a choice.
I was looking for something
to settle me down.
We never had a choice.
I was looking for something
to set me right.
