Lyrics

I walked into a river I cannot swim across
Every time I leave that house I run into my boss
And there's always someone yelling right into my ears
So I guess it's time for me to get up and get out of here
The man who locked me up
He looked just like my dad
Every time I wag my tongue it always turns out bad
And the TV keeps on telling that I should live in fear
So I guess it's time for me to get up and get out of here
I guess it's time for me to get up and gone
The killers came to do their worst and I followed them along
I followed right behind them, my dear
I don't know where you go
When you go on a trip like that
They always make me circle 'round
Like a rabbit around the track
There's water in those mountain streams that runs by cold and clear
So I guess it's time for me to get up and get out of here
A man came around with a pick and a shovel and his heart pulled back like a trigger
He held the place till he met his grace and then it went to the highest bidder
Sometimes this world just goes away
And gets buried in the snow
Sometimes she will go away
Then she's someone I don't know
Maybe I'll be back around
See you sometime the next year
I guess it's time for me to get up and get out of here
