They aren’t desperate for love and affection

No, they’re desperate for you

And as you sit out there all sly and sure I wonder

Does anyone think as strongly as you do?

I’m quite sure we’ll find one another

In a place that’s better than this

A time filled with us

And we send up our shooting stars and comets

Yeah we make our little gestures

Yes we make our little comments

This song is my anthem, and it makes up my ideals

And who I am has benefited from

All my cleverly planned meals

All my cleverly planned meals

I’m stripped and vital and I see rules that almost fit

So if I voice my opinion, will you stay and sit? 

And as I stand here screaming in despair

I say, yes this is my life, and yes you should care

This song is my anthem, and it makes up my ideals {Close your eyes}

And who I am has benefited from {Free your mind, free to fly} 

All my cleverly planned meals {She said close your eyes}

All my cleverly planned meals {Free your mind, free to fly}

Hardly happy at all and I’m ready to take the fall

‘Cause we pay for the stupid things we’ve done

Where we come from

Can you sit through this, or is it gonna be too deep?

Will you ever use common sense?

It comes pretty cheap

So if I speak more clearly, if I make more sense

Will you just shut your mouth?

You won’t come across quite so dense

And so, close your eyes

Free your mind, you’re free to fly

Close your eyes

And then I free my mind, I’m free to fly

Said close your eyes

And then you free your mind, you’re free to fly

Said close your eyes

And then you free your mind

You're free, your free to fly {You're free to fly, she said}

{Close your eyes} So close your eyes 

They said free your mind, you’re free to fly

She said close your eyes

Free your mind, free to fly

Close your eyes

(Close your eyes)

(I will free your mind, you’re free to fly)

This song is my anthem, and it makes up my ideals

And who I am has benefited from

All my cleverly planned meals

All my cleverly planned meals
