There was nothing down in my little town
No one I could be
Nobody there in the empty square
Soon to include me
So I borrowed myself a stolen van
And I got myself to where I am
I made my escape while no one watched
And inside my head I had just one thought
It was freedom that I wanted
Freedom that I got
Ready or not
It’s another world that I find me in
I think someone stole the van
And the people here are like aliens
And I don’t know what I am
And the pretty pretty girls I thought I could trust
Have taken everything but my bad luck
Now I’m not so bad and I’m not so hot
I said I don’t care but I cared a lot
It was changes that I wanted
Changes that I got
Ready or not
Now I’m not so radical as I thought
I said I don’t care but I cared a lot
It was freedom that I wanted
Freedom that I got
Ready or not
