leaving in a hurry

leaving
I’m leaving in a hurry
I’m leaving in a hurry
not coming back tonight

running
I’m running from the oppressor
I’m running from the taxman
I’ll run but I won’t hide

and I’ll be gone within the hour
cos now I’ve seen them in the flesh

their mindless faces look so dour
they have been fishing in the trash

leaving this shithole in a hurry
the mayor thinks it’s funny to take my wealth from me
they speak funny
the mailman has me worried
the letterbox’s not empty
and I am shivering…

white cross and a red background
it used to stand for reason
it stands for state theft now

leaving
I’m leaving in a hurry
I can’t believe it’s taken six years out of my life…
