(Shape shifters, come out and play!)
I was born a wolf
I walk with rats
I got raised by lions
I hunt in packs
Born free, nothing's gotta give
You gotta make do with what you don't have
Up in arms
Don't hit the lights
Live in shadows
Long live life
Born free, nothing's gotta give
You gotta make do with what you don't have
Like a wolf I walk this town
Like a wolf I'm coming down, down, down
I'm a stray dog and I'm out here on my own
I was born a wolf, I'll find my way back home
I was born a wolf
I'll grow wings one day
All you shape shifters
Come out and play
Born free, nothing's gotta give
You gotta make do with what you don't have
Like a wolf I walk this town
Like a wolf I'm coming down, down, down
I'm a stray dog and I'm out here on my own
I was born a wolf, I'll find my way back home
Like a wolf I walk this town
Like a wolf I'm coming down, down, down
If I get away with it, then I guess it ain't no crime
