作词 : Pugh, Ramsey, Walkyer
My mind was a timebomb 
That was set to explode 
So I packed up my cares 
Into the sunset 
I rode A path to hell that's paved 
With good intentions. 
Well I guess you and 
I Will never see eye to eye 
But if there's one thing 
I'll be Glad to know when 
I die It's that 
I never entertained your '
Can't Conventions.' 
Two men gaze from behind 
Their prison bars 
One man sees dirt 
The other sees stars 
I'm just thinking aloud 
Isn't thinking allowed? 
Just let your mind wander 
It may never come back 
Set off on a new train of thought 
On life's track. 
I'm just thinking aloud 
Isn't thinking allowed? 
Why is nobody thinking? 
How can you call me a failure 
Or a social defective 
When to find your own mind 
You'd need a private detective? 
I'm not a statistic or 
A regular family man. 
I don't give a damn about public relations 
I'll never live up to 
Your great expectations 
You can take or leave me 
Just the way 
I am. Your straight jacket emotions 
Only stifle and kill 
The spirit within us all 
I call free will. 
I'm just thinking aloud 
Isn't thinking allowed? 
Two men gaze from behind 
Their prison bars 
One man sees dirt 
The other sees stars. 
I'm just thinking aloud 
Isn't thinking allowed?
