The Great Escape (Live In Boston) Lyrics

Paper bags and plastic hearts
All our belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and drive around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it rightThrow it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
'Cause we are finally free tonightTonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
But we'll cry
We won't give up the fight
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs

And they'll think it's just 'cause we're young
And we'll feel so aliveThrow it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
'Cause we are finally free tonightAll of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonightThrow it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anywayThrow it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anywayThrow it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
'Cause we are finally free tonight
