John Wesley Harding - Backing Out Lyrics
Been living in the city too long nowEven my lungs have started to groanEverybody is singing their own songSometimes I wanna sing aloneNever been a primadonnaNever seem to wanna be the one to complainEnoughs too much and now Im gonnaStop the madness soon before it drives me insaneSo, take me where the sun wont shine on meTake me where my conscience wont goTake me where the sun wont shine on meDont tell me Im backing out cos I dont wanna knowEveryone around this town is so angryBlaring horns, swearing, shaking fistsIf everybody in the world was a hit manWed wipe each other off each others hit listsWho wants to stand and be countedAll anger ever amounted to was lines on your faceI dont want to be the one to start the shoutingIm part of this society and I know my place(chorus)Everything around this town is so boringNothing changes, nothing doesnt stay the sameTen years ago when we had high idealsWe couldnt wait to play the protest gameBut now we have our thing togetherBrand new leather, three bank accountsWho cares about the starving millionsWere just happy that our cheques dont bounce(chorus)
