The Great Escape

What gave you the right
I wonder
What gave you the right
I wonder
What gave you the right
I wonder
What gave you the right
I wonder

Your name is written in ink
Yet we are not to know
You've gotta run son
Boy even if it's just next door
Oh you got your family name
You got your fathers stare
But nobody knows your father
Nobody out here cares

I wonder
What gave you the right
I wonder
What gave you the right

Yes they tell us today
Of your great escape
I try to imagine the wounds
I try to feel the weight
No your folks they were not suited
And your neighbors knew the same
You're just some kid, gone, locked in a house
Nobody knows your name

And I wonder
What gave you the right
I wonder
What gave you the right

And then I get start thinking
If I wonder long enough
I realize all you needed
Was to downright just be loved

And I wonder
What gave you the right
I wonder
What gave you the right
I wonder
What gave you the right
I wonder
What gave you the right
