[Verse 1] They said the final shift was over, The machines could take it from here. No more living by the clock now, No more trading days for years. I stepped out into the daylight With both hands finally mine. The whole world felt wide open, Like the future showed up on time. [Chorus] Do what you want, no one's holding you down Do what you want, there's nothing left now No clock, no cage, no reason to run You're free, you're free — however that sounds [Verse 2] Now the calendar lies open, Every square looks just the same. Morning disappears through evening; I forget to name the days. The lights come on without us, The whole world carries on. Every door unlocks without me, And nothing notices I'm gone. I can go in any direction, But there's nowhere I have to be. I used to dream of getting free— Now freedom keeps looking at me. [Chorus] Do what you want, no one's holding you down Do what you want, there's nothing left now No clock, no cage, no reason to run You're free, you're free — however that sounds [Bridge] They called it progress, They called it mercy. “You gave enough — now let it rest.” But that's not what they meant. A world that turns without me, A door closed on all I gave. No use for my hands, No need for my name. They don't need me anymore. Not the weight I carried, Not the truth I found, Not even just to stand here now. They gave me all the time I wanted, And took the only place Where I mattered. [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] Do what you want, no one's holding you down Do what you want, there's nothing left now No clock, no cage, no reason to run You're free, you're free — however that sounds [Outro] (Do what you want...) (However that sounds...)
