Algorythms' home / Lyrics / Tommy

Tommy

Tommy had to be the best
He had to do better than the rest
Had to please his family
Yeah, and smile and pretend to be free (agree?)
Tommy bleeched his hair - and went punk
His protest against established authorities
Noone had to know his mother drank
Noone knew what his father put him through
Soon the mask would fall
Yeah and Tommy couldn't take it anymore
The future's now
The past is dead
Time to live up
And build it up instead
