[Verse 1]
This heartbreak is never-ending, it's like it never happened
A fall from grace is close, why not speed it up?
I've never been so angry to find out that I failed
It didn't even work, I have to make amends
I shot him from the window, the world just held its breath
And I made my escape as if no-one could see
I took off in my pick-up, kids screaming in the back seat
They heard the shots too and screamed cause that's their way

[Chorus]
I do it alright in my own way, I do it alright in my own way
I do it alright in my own way, I do it alright in my own way

[Verse 2]
We've all got bigger plans but when it comes down to it
Mine might save the world at least for one more day
Don't judge me from your sofas, on TV things don't ever
Come across so true, they're made up in your minds

[Chorus]
I do it alright in my own way, I do it alright in my own way
I do it alright in my own way, I do it alright in my own way
