The Patty Hearst Syndrome Lyrics

The Patty Hearst Syndrome lyrics

If life is such a drag and they can do it better

let them take you miles
from home tonight.

If life is such a drag and they can do it better

let them take you miles from home.

You say that you care for the people
they fed.

Then tell them what you want to do.



Is it love or
revenge to pay for dad's sins?

Tell them what you want to do.

Tell
them why the hell you chose

to let them take you from your good life.



If life is such a drag and this will make it better

let them take
you miles from home tonight.

If daddy isn't there, and mommy doesn't
care

let them take you miles from home.

From a smile to a stare,
naive to aware.

Tell them what you want to do.



A rich little
girl is taking a stand.

tell them what you want to do.

Tell them why
the hell you chose to let them

take you from your good life.



Is it better to change up the clothes that you wear?

To pick up a gun
and put your fist in the air?

Was it sad to see reality and what's really
out there?

Tell them what you want to do.



In a burned out
squat in the suburbs a lover is dead, 

lawyers wait, there's wanted
SLA,

and a little girl on the move.

In the end you'll always choose
the silver spoon.

It's what's best for you



So tell them why
did you let them 

take you from your good life?
