Song title: John Wesley Harding - Backing Out

Edit By: 216.73.216.79

Been living in the city too long now
Even my lungs have started to groan
Everybody is singing their own song
Sometimes I wanna sing alone
Never been a primadonna
Never seem to wanna be the one to complain
Enoughs too much and now Im gonna
Stop the madness soon before it drives me insane

So, take me where the sun wont shine on me
Take me where my conscience wont go
Take me where the sun wont shine on me
Dont tell me Im backing out cos I dont wanna know

Everyone around this town is so angry
Blaring horns, swearing, shaking fists
If everybody in the world was a hit man
Wed wipe each other off each others hit lists
Who wants to stand and be counted
All anger ever amounted to was lines on your face
I dont want to be the one to start the shouting
Im part of this society and I know my place

(chorus)

Everything around this town is so boring
Nothing changes, nothing doesnt stay the same
Ten years ago when we had high ideals
We couldnt wait to play the protest game
But now we have our thing together
Brand new leather, three bank accounts
Who cares about the starving millions
Were just happy that our cheques dont bounce

(chorus)
