Lyrics

I I was born we long a go; I am the cho sen, I’m the one.

We I have come to save the day, and I won’t leave un til I’m done.

So So that’s why you’ve got to try, you’ve got to breathe and have some fun.

Though I’m not paid, I play this game, and I won’t stop un til I’m done.

But what I real ly (F#m7)want to know is:

(E)Are you gon na go my way?

And I got to, (F#m7)got to know.

I don’t know why we al ways cry, this we must leave and get un done.

We must en gage and re ar range and turn this plan et back to one.

So tell me why we’ve got to die and kill each oth er one by one.

We’ve got to love and rub a dub, we’ve got to dance and be in love.

But what I real ly (F#m7)want to know is:

(E)Are you gon na go my way?

And I got to, (F#m7)got to know.

to know.

(E)Are you gon na go my way?

’Cause ba by, I got to know.
