Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was hazed to believe that
I was raised to believe that
Tradition was avoiding ambition
And things passed down
Not enough, don't stay in this town
Don't you dare put your roots down
It's not cut and dried that way
[PreChorus]
And I blame your generation, but really we're just confused
'Cause have we ever had more power or have we ever been more used?
[Chorus]
I want to dream, I want to drive
I want to scream, I want to strive
I want to stay in my little farmhouse and hide
I want to chase down the creed but I know when I find it
I'll turn my cheek to the other side
I want laugh, I want cry
I want to fall, I want to fly
I want to pull the wool right over my eyes
I want to chase down the dream
But I know when I find it
I won't really like what it tastes like
And I want to do it all, I want to do it all at the same time
And if I choose tradition, I'll know that this choice is mine
[Verse 2]
I let it die
I planted a garden and I didn't make time
Saw something shiny and the fault is mine
Lost a little along the way
Now I'm running uphill
I'm chomping at the bit and I can't sit still
But I still want a pie on a windowsill
But I'm treating my choice like a hard swallowed pill
[Chorus]
I want to dream, I want to drive
I want to scream, I want to strive
I want to stay in my little farmhouse and hide
I want to chase down the creed but I know when I find it
I'll turn my cheek to the other side
I want laugh, I want cry
I want to fall, I want to fly
I want to pull the wool right over my eyes
I want to chase down the dream
But I know when I find it
I won't really like what it tastes like
[Outro]
And I want to do it all, I'm gonna do it all at the same time
And if I choose tradition, I'll know that this choice is mine
