Well I heard the news just the other day |
|
Now I feel there's something I must say |
|
Well the darkness comes too often |
|
This time next year I'll build my coffin |
|
Made out of lead so X-rays cannot see |
|
We gotta be free |
|
Political men they burn their lives out talkin' |
|
We people of the earth just keep on walkin' |
|
Well we don't know what to say |
|
Only live our lives as slaves |
|
All we can do is race on to the grave |
|
Well we gotta get away |
|
Well they're much too old to care about the future |
|
They're sewing up the past with shining sutures |
|
It's immortality they crave |
|
Their days are done so now they're brave |
|
Their lives will live in books for fools and slaves |
|
We gotta get away |
