[Verse 1]
Driving in my car
There's nothing on the air
Play a song that'll ease my pain
DJ's telling me
That this is what'll be
Help me I'm depressed again

[Verse 2]
My best friend disappeared
With the girl I had for years
My life's going down the drain
The skies are crying
Everybody's lying
Oh God, I'm depressed again

[Chorus]
Give me wings I'll fly away
Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd
There's gotta be a place for me

[Verse 3]
The boss is on my back
I know I'm gonna crack
Looks like I'm paranoid again
Can't do nothing right
See only black and white
Oh God, I'm depressed again

[Chorus]
Give me wings I'll fly away
Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd
There's gotta be a place for me

[Bridge]
How can I plan ahead
With this hanging 'round my neck?
Looks like I'm coming down again
Thought about it well
Analyzed myself
Yeah, I'm depressed again

[Chorus]
Give me wings I'll fly away
Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd
There's gotta be a place for me

[Outro]
I'm down
I'm coming down again
I'm down
Looks like I'm coming down again
I'm down, I'm down
Looks like I'm coming down again
I'm down, I'm down
Looks like I'm pissed off again
Yeah!
