The Long Distance Runners
set me free the one
Select language to translate this lyric
My father told me that I was the one/ âYou could grow up to be
Whatever you want my sonâ he said/ He was too blind to see
I am the chooser he ainât the fate/ Theyâre the advantage I am the rape
Raised as a chimp but grew up very ape/ Just a taker that the world couldnât take
I let people in and become broken/ Disillusioned with whatever weâll be
I have a gun and it sets me free/ It sets me free
My mother told me that I was the one/ I was Peter Pan
To be the child who could fly to the sun/ Now I just sink in the sand
I let people in and become broken/ Disillusioned with all that I see
I am the one and my name is whatever you say/ If you canât help me than set me free
Set me free
