[Verse 1]
I'm crossing lines
I mean, that's what I chose
Hey, don't go up my nose, alright
And now I'm picking a fight
And I'm starting with those
Who're imposing the emperor's might
[Chorus]
Well, I'm here to stick up for my rights
But I'm payin' at the end of the night
When it seems in this whole goddamn room that I ain't got one friend
I'm headin' back to Espanola again
[Verse 2]
I'm waving signs
'Cause I know when I'm old
I'll be molded by fights that I'm fightin'
Am I wasting time?
Or is time in the way
Of us getting on back to what's right?
Oh
[Chorus]
Well, I know that I have to be right
I was born free and also am why
Would you call me when things settle down? 'Cause, babe, until then
I'm headin' back to Espanola again
[Post-Chorus]
(Woo)
(Woo)
[Verse 3]
I'm hittin' the lights
'Cause I know that I'm safe
And I'm warming this wood on the fire
[Chorus]
All that outside, it's come to a head
Yeah, they camped on the train tracks again
Oh, and ten thousand sledgehammers swingin' ain't make a dent
And the powers that be walkin' 'round with heads full of cement
Are we sellin' everythin' we own just to cover the rent
Or headin' back to Espanola again?
