Get Me Outta Here

An anthem for discontents.

Get Me Outta Here

I don’t believe in heaven sent
Pieties or sin
I’ve never had a single clue
Who let all these monkeys in
I can’t suss what the answers are
But the questions sure are dumb
So, I’ll drop down upon this road
And stick out both my thumbs

Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Down the road a bit
Until the talking quits
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
There’s nowhere to go
That’s what I’ve been told
But while you’re moving it’s fine
So just keep traveling through space and time
Get me outta here

Up the road and down the hill
Miles beyond electric bills
Might find nothing or find it all
Or crash into that Chinese wall
Might be headed for dead end jolt
Might be kissed by a lightning bolt
You could be stupid, wild or sad
Maybe you’ll just end up mad
All I know is what I see
If freedom costs then it isn’t free
Get me outta here

People come and people go
Then you hope they stay away
I’ll never find the perfect world
But I just have to say

Get me outta here
Get me outta here
Down the road a bit
Until the talking quits
Get me outta here
Get me outta here
There’s nowhere to go
That’s what I’ve been told
But while you’re moving it’s fine
So just keep traveling through space and time
Get me outta here
