Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got to get away, man
Gotta clear my mind, mind, mind
Out of this mundane godforsaken nine to five waste of my time
I'm gonna tell the boss man
I'm never coming back, back, back
I'm just a one way crazy locomotive jumping off of my tracks
[Verse 2]
'Cause I'm jacked up, sucked up, cut down, thrown around
Discarded like a cigarette butt
I'm a just a no good excuse for a man
Yes, you know I gotta pick myself up out of this rut
[Refrain]
But I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you, you
I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you, you
[Chorus]
I don't know why we've never been told
That the life we're living, it is made from gold
Work our whole damn lives just to make it, it's sold
So boy, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry
[Verse 3]
I got to get away, man
This moment, it won't last, last, last
I got a chained up brumby in my head and it's kicking my ass, yeah
I'm roaming like a dog, yeah
Looking for my bone, bone, bone
I gotta hijack my body just to make it my own, my own, my own, my own
[Verse 4]
Because I'm jacked up, sucked up, cut down, thrown around
Discarded like a cigarette butt
Yeah, I'm just a no good excuse for a man
Yes, you know I gotta pick myself out of this rut
[Refrain]
But I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you, you
I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you, you
[Chorus]
I don't know why we've never been told
That the life we're living, it is made from gold
Work our whole damn lives just to make it, it's sold
So boy, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry now
[Chorus]
I don't know why we've never been told
That the life we're living, it is made from gold
Work our whole damn lives just to make it, it's sold
So boy, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry now
[Outro]
Now don't worry now
Yeah, don't worry now
Yeah, don't worry
