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

But all of my life, I've been treated like a fool

But I'm no one's fool

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

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

But all of my life, I've been treated like a fool

But I'm no one's fool

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've seen your future, so leave me alone in the past

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

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

(I'm not gonna be standing in the line

Waiting for you just to kick me out)

You won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride

You won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride
