Tommy's on a mission
He's out to bend the rules
He's made his own decision
He's had enough of school

He wants to be an outlaw
But doesn't have a clue
Someday he'll be famous
We'll read it in the news

Chorus:

God knows where Tommy's gone
'Cause in his world it's all gone wrong
Should we speak up, or play along
When we close our eyes, it goes on and on

Tommy's getting nervous
The walls are closing in
He's so far above us
The air is getting thin

He finally made the headlines
A name without a face
His private revolution
Was lost without a trace

Repeat Chorus
