I don’t care to say what
I failed to say before
Every single day
from the bar stool to the floor.
Running out of Good Hope,
I worked day long for the man, in the back.
Found a guy there who said
He had the same problems
that I thought that I had.
If my sister wants to give her life
for “this” national plan,
I don’t care.
I’m not about to stop her now
With my ignorance and dead end plans.
I can change my clothes to follow all your regulations,
Sweep the dirt off the floor into the trash/ But you can’t take away my dignity
In the register, the register, the register
Is filled up with money I’ll never see [again].
[bye]
So we took a drive down the road,
Just to get away.
I pulled out the map
So I could find out where my life would stay.
Was mistaken for all the things that I’ve ever known before.
Running out of Good Hope,
I left with a feeling that I shouldn’t ever come back.
If my mother took a ride in her car and turned left on red.
I saw it coming.
All the gas prices drop at once,
From a bullet and a death.
Ooh, I’m running from it.
“What’s the hurry? What’s the hurry? What’s the hurry, Kevin?”
I will explain, when we’re in the car.
“What’s the hurry? What’s The hurry? What’s the hurry, Kevin?”
Please, no good-byes before we leave…
[bye]
running from...
