Leave It Behind

The streets are crowded and the walls aren't clean
The world's being taken over by machines
I can't find a refuge or a place to go
I try to share but they don't wanna know
The streets of gold are where I wanna be
But the closest I've come is deep inside my dreams
Eager for the things that you've got for me
But the world keeps me from focusing
Lord won'tcha kindly take us out of here
It's dark outside my lantern's broke and I'm scared
I said God please take us out of here
And we'll leave it all behind for all we care
We're going nowhere
Take us somewhere
Anywhere but here
Times are tough the pillars are crumbling down
I'm looking for a place that I can turn around
Sick and tired of these mindless matters
Wish we were eatin with your son off golden platters
It's getting closer the day is drawing near
We're begging God please take us there
The streets are crowded and the walls aren't clean
The world's being taken over by machines
Lord won'tcha kindly take us out of here
It's dark outside my lantern's broke and I'm scared
I said God please take us out of here
And we'll leave it all behind for all we care
We're going nowhere
Take us somewhere
Anywhere but here
