Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey you, we just got started

You can't end this now

Hey you, we just got started

You can't end this now

You've paid your dues, you're free, of what are you afraid?

You've paid your dues, you're free, of what are you afraid?

[Verse 2]

Taking on responsibility knowing it will weigh you down

Freedom is a possibility only if you're able to say no

[Verse 3]

People in Northern Europe since medieval times

We find it hard to deal with when our dreams come true

As if happiness exists in the world at a fixed amount

And if you feel up somebody somewhere else feels down

[Verse 4]

Taking on responsibility knowing it will weigh you down

Freedom is a possibility only if you're able to say no

Taking on responsibility knowing it will weigh you down

Freedom is a possibility only if you're able to say no
