Voy A Escapar

I’m done, I can’t take it anymore
I wanna leave this smoke-filled place,
in this spot, I’m a prisoner,
my city’s got tainted air,
cars stuck everywhere and dog shit,
that gray sky pulls me down,
and today I wanna break free,
this ant hill isn’t for me...

At home, nothing’s going right,
it’s raining more inside than out,
water on the couch, damn leak,
fifth floor, no elevator,
and hearing my neighbor’s noise is a drag,
but it’s my city, and that’s the price I gotta pay.
I’m fed up, I can’t stand it,
I wanna fly away,
I don’t even remember how long I’ve been dying,
I’m gonna escape this city,
and if the mayor gives me trouble,
he can stay here, I just wanna live in peace.

The landlord called the other day,
rent went up, and there’s a subway strike,
I gotta wake up earlier for the same pay,
I’m done, don’t look for me anymore,
I’ve caught a train that’s taking me far away, choo choo!
Look for me at the station of sweet dreams,
I wanna go somewhere where the noise doesn’t drown out my voice,

'Cause I’m tired of the construction,
I wanna fly away...
In this city, your dreams will never come true,
another day in the toaster.
I don’t even remember how long I’ve been dying,
I’m gonna escape this city,
and if the mayor gives me trouble, let him die, I just wanna live in peace.
Someone could get hit by a car, and people just stop to stare,
this is a vicious cycle, run, or your life might wither.
