The day I started running from the law,
The law it started running after me,
And since that day I've never felt so free,
But I've also felt the darkest, deepest, coldest misery...
'Cuz there's a man on every corner with a gun,
A gun to kill and a taser just for fun.
He's going after people on the street,
But me I'll keep on running, I'll run up into a tree.
No one's gonna put me in a cell,
a cubicle, or even a motel.
Fuck that! I'm not living in a hell.
The day I started living in a tree,
The law it seemed to stay away from me.
Until the day they came to cut it down,
They needed wood to build another prison back in town.
Stuck up there with nowhere else to go,
I kept real quiet and slowly grabbed my bow.
They never even heard the arrows fly,
They just lay there trembling as they watched each other die.
No one's gonna put me in a cell,
A cubicle, or even a motel.
Fuck that! I'm not living in a hell.
The next day I awoke to my surprise,
Hand grenades and tanks before my eyes.
Did I live or die? I cannot say.
But my spirit stalks the shadows of the forest to this day.
No one's gonna put me in a cell,
A cubicle, or even a motel.
Fuck that! I'm not living in a hell.
Fuck that! I'm not living in your hell.
