I gotta say I’ve seen enough
Enough to last me forever
Yeah I can try to live the lie
But it’s a pointless endeavor
No it’s not a pretty picture
The colors they all look garish
This dream that I was living in
Has turned nightmarish
Don’t look now
I’m heading for the door
You won’t see me no more
Funny how people choose to live
Even when it causes them pain
They would rather go along with the status quo
Than to actually use their brain
It’s not for me to judge
What they do is what they do
But I don’t wanna be here when the curtain comes down
See ya ‘round my buckaroo
Glad you seem to be on top of the world
Wish that I could say the same
You go on believing what you wanna believe
But I’m not gonna play that game
I’m taking my stuff and I’m hitting the road
Where I’ll wind up I don’t know
I’m aiming for somewhere beyond the horizon
Yeah that’s where I’m gonna go
