Xscape Songtext
von Michael Jackson

Xscape
Xscape
Xscape

Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look
The systems in control, it′s all ran by the book
I've got to get away so I can clear my mind
Xscape is what I need, away from electric eyes

No matter where I am, I see my face around
They pin lies on my name, and push them from town to town
Don′t have a place to run, but there's no need to hide
I've got to, find a place, but I won′t hide away

Xscape, got to get away from the system, lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships, got to go away
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna ′cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape


I tried to share my life with someone I could love
But games and money is all she ever thought of
How could that be my fault when she gambled and lost?
I'm tired of silly games, it′s time to make a change

Why is it I can't do whatever I want to? (Oh)
When it′s my personal life and I don't live for you (You)
So don′t you try to tell me what is right for me
You be, concerned about you, I can do what I want to

Xscape, (Hoo-hoo) (oh, no)
Got to get away from the system, lose in the world today (I've got to get away)
Xscape
The pressure that I face from relationships got to go away (Don't you know I need it?)
Xscape
The man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man (I′ve got to get away)
Xscape
I do what I wanna ′cause I gotta face nobody but me (Get away)


Xscape (Don't you try it)
Got to get away from the system lose in the world today
Xscape
The pressure that I face from relationships, got to go away (Pressure that I′m facing every day)
Xscape
The man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man (Come on, now)
Xscape
I do what I wanna 'cause I gotta face nobody but me (Hoo-hoo)

When I go, (Oh, go) this problem world won′t bother me no more
(This problem world won't bother me no more)
(Problem world, bother me, yeah, oh, yeah, hoo)

Xscape
Got to get away from a system lose in the world today (I′ve got to find a way)
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships, got to go away (Pressure that I'm facing)
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man (Why, I wanna fly)
Xscape, I do what I wanna 'cause I gotta face nobody but me (I do what I wanna, hoo-hoo)

Xscape, got to get away from the system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships, got to go away
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna ′cause I gotta face nobody but me (Hoo-hoo)

Xscape, got to get away
(I′ve got to get away)
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships, got to go away (Can't take it no more)
Xscape, the man with the pen (I can′t take this no more)
Xscape, I do what I wanna 'cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape (Ooow!)
Xscape
