The future’s filled with fun!
Lots of things to do;
So much to try, lots of ‘spear-i-ences.
But you’re the one who holds back,
Not just that, you’re clingy too.
You’re just trying to turn me around.
CHORUS
Don’t shoot me down!
I wanna get up and go,
But you’re. just. holding. me. back.
Don’t shoot me down!
I’m gonna do it anyway,
So don’t you try and stop me; it. won’t. work.
(I’m a free bird,
You’re just flightless.
Spread your wings and brave the heights!)
(End chorus)
You don’t approve,
When things don’t go your way.
You’re stuck, grounded, down there.
But you can’t stop it,
This is nature.
Approve or not, I’m going out in the world.
Chorus
Don’t shoot me down!
I wanna get up and go,
But you’re. just. holding. me. back.
Don’t shoot me down!
I’m gonna do it anyway,
So don’t you try and stop me; it. won’t. work.
(I’m a free bird,
You’re just flightless.
Spread your wings and brave the heights!)
BRIDGE
I’m sick and tired of your put-me-downs.
You always seem to wear a frown.
So come with me, and just live life;
You won’t regret it; there won’t be strife!
Chorus
Don’t shoot me down!
I wanna get up and go.
But you’re. just. holding. me. back.
Don’t shoot me down!
I’m gonna do it anyway.
So don’t you try and stop me. It. won’t. work.
