Pete Lyrics by Driver Friendly

Fly Away

2004

I said:
Hey, it’s alright, it’s okay, he stays true to who he is
Hey, it’s alright, it’s okay, he knows just who he is

Pete steps out to catch a cigarette
He’s choking from all the ugly looks he gets
It’s hard to stand all the cold stares
People give to him for the clothes he wears
They look past him and write him off
Forget about him and just walk by
They don’t think twice, they don’t think twice
Of what he’s really like inside, oh no

Got something to prove
Got nothing to lose, Woh-oh Woh
Got something to prove
Your life is what you choose
Pete, this one goes out to you

He wipes his sweat from his broken brow
He’s been in the pit for three hours now
Tells me about his problems with politics
And how he fights for the life he lives
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
His jean jacket’s dusty and his chains are rusty
And if people took the time to understand
All the things I saw inside this man
They might discover:
(You can’t judge a book by its cover)

Got something to prove
Got nothing to lose, Woh-oh Woh
Got something to prove
Your life is what you choose
This one goes out to you

People call him a little hardcore
When all he wants is just a little bit more
People call him a little hardcore
When all he wants is just a litte bit more
People call him a little hardcore
When all he wants is just a little bit more

(it’s just a little longer till this’ll all be over)
(I can see the sun, it’s rising up again)

(It’s just a little longer till this’ll all be over)
(I can see the sun, it’s rising up again)

Hey hey, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s okay, it’s okay, he knows just who he is
Hey hey, it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s okay, it’s okay, he stays true to who he is

It’s alright!
It’s okay!
It’s alright!
It’s okay!
It’s alright!
It’s okay!
It’s alright!

Got something to prove
Got nothing to lose, Woh-oh Woh
Got something to prove
Your life is what you choose
Pete, this one goes out to you!
