The Patty Hearst Syndrome - Smoke or Fire

If life is such a drag and they can do it better

Let them take you miles from home tonight

If life is such a drag and they can do it better

Let them take you miles from home

You say that you care for the people you fed

Tell them what you want to do, tell them what you want to do

Love or revenge to pay for dad’s sins?

Tell them what you want to do, tell them what the hell you’d choose

To let them take you from your good life

Why did you let them take you from your good life?

If life is such a drag and this will make it better

Let them take you miles from home tonight

If daddy isn’t there and mommy doesn’t care

Let them take you miles from home

From a smile to a stare, naive to aware

Tell them what you want to do, tell them what you want to do

A rich little girl is taking a stand

Tell them what you want to do, tell them what the hell you’d choose

To let them take you from your good life

Why did you let them take you from your good life?

Is it better to change all the clothes that you wear?

To pick up a gun and put your fist in the air?

Was it sad to see reality and what’s really out there?

Tell them what you want to do, tell them what you want to do

In a burned-out squat in the suburbs

A lover’s dead, lawyers wait, there’s wanted SLA, a little girl on the moon

In the end you’ll always choose the silver spoon

It’s what’s best for you

So tell them why did you let them take you from your good life

Why did you let them take you from your good life?

Why did you let them take you from your good life?

Why did you let them take you from your good life?

Why did you?
