How long can I keep this going on
How long can I endure
My legs are weak, my arms are achin’
I am insecure
Seen a lot of terrible things
Seen lots of crimes
It’s the age we are living in, yeah
These are hard times
The world it takes its toll
Tears you down
It leaves its traces
The world breaks everyone and afterward
Many are strong at the broken places
How do you know just what to believe
When everything is a lie
Those on the right want to live in the past
While those on the left merely sigh
What do I say to my own kid
How can I explain it
I’m leaving this world in such a shitty state
And she must maintain it
Come together, come together
You gotta come together
Nothing I do will make a difference
Nothing I do will make a change
I have nothing, no say in the matter
I’m a stranger to the strange
All I can offer are these words
All I can offer is this simple plan
Turn your back on all you know
And escape while you can
