about

Thematically, the song features a Springsteen-esque yearning to escape the crushing disappointment of frustrated, beaten-down dreams. And, who better to capture the spirit of escape than former inmate of Shawshank State Penitentiary, Andy Dufresne.

lyrics

You’re working 12 hours but you need it,
You say money gets you everything but I say I don’t believe it,
You’ll never be happy with everything you do
When you believe it’s a lie.

You would do anything for fame
But everything’s staying the same.

You were bent out of shape
Like a flower in the rain,
On your own you can’t escape the mundane,
You're no Andy Dufresne,
You're no Andy Dufresne.

Sometimes you can’t take the regretting,
So you go out every night with the goal of forgetting
What you could become if only the chance came
And if you had the time.

You would do anything for fame,
But everything’s staying the same

You've been bent out of shape
Like a flower in the rain,
On your own you can’t escape the mundane,
You're no Andy Dufresne,
You're no Andy Dufresne.

(Guitar Solo)

You're no Andy Dufresne X 4

They tell you that "hey, you'll never make it",
It’s just a vicious circle but baby you can break it,
Just hurry girl and take my hand we’ll get out together
'Cause I’m leaving in 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,
I said come on are you leaving now or not?
