Panic
Way out yonder, where the wild wind blows
There's a place there lonely fools can go
Where if you hold your money, it'll burn your hand
So you buy you a ticket to the shadowland
chorus
Down the highway, down the road I'm bound
And my heart keeps poundin' and the wheels go 'round
And it's a hard place for a mortal man
And a heartbroke pilgrim in the shadowland
Yeah, when I was younger I could hold my own
My right hand was thunder and my left was stone
Now I ain't as handsome as I was back then
So I'm takin' my chances
By a River
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
Your freedom away
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
And you wouldn't
You know it makes sense child
To follow mama's style
She hasn't got it in for us
Growing up just takes a while
Growing up just takes a while
She moulds her puppet, ties on the strings
For the whole wide world to see
She'll drag you down and chain you up
Takes her lifetime to break free
Takes her lifetime to break free
Don't speak, don't think
Don't move, don't breathe
She'll take you down again
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
Your freedom away
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
And you wouldn't like that would you
So what if you're the problem child
You know that mama's always right
Don't you know what's right or wrong
When you're out of mama's sight
When you're out of mama's sight
Now tell her that it's time to leave
And you'll see mama cry
Just walk on right out the door
There's the whole wide world outside
There's the whole wide world outside
Don't speak, don't think
Don't move, don't breathe
She'll take you down again
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
Your freedom away
You better be good
Or mama will take your freedom away
And you wouldn't like that would you
