Exodus

Description

For Cary.

Written for all those souls who thought they could escape to the freedom of the Great Outdoors.

Lyrics

Chang bought a van, and decked it out
Showed us all, it had all he needed
Could park it anywhere, free as a bird
But when he flew he found out fast
That the great outdoors
Is a barbwire fence

I am not staying here when the shit goes south
And the shit seems to be already here
I’ve a backpack with alI my needs, trouble is
When I dream all I find is
That the great outdoors
Is a barbwire fence

I’m sure my grandfather left freedom here
Unless my eyes were open when I was born
But this world has left me blind,

is that right, mother? am i blind?

I’m sure I smelt freedom once
In the backwood forests of your eyes
Hide you said,
Hide with me,
or how else will we
Ever live
free

There’s an exodus, Heading out of town
Their faces are up but their eyes are down
There’s a sun that’s seems too be shining upside down
and around and around

upside down
and around and around

upside down
and around and around

until we reach the outskirts of town
where we find
time and time again
that the great outdoors
is a barbwire fence.
