  • Take away your paper & pen
    Stacks of money and your foolish grin
    And go

    Get me off the backwards ride
    Take away your greedy way and go
    See the woman standing at the door
    World gone by
    Again and again
    Pushed on
    Pushed on
    World gone by

    Take away your companies
    Take away your societies and go
    Take away your fictitious books of fact
    See the woman standing in the door
    World gone by
    Again and again
    See the blisters growing on your feet
    Pushed on
    Pushed on
    World gone by

    I wouldn't want to be
    Living in a world of ecstasy with you

    Wasted arms; wasted legs
    Wrapped round this machine
    Military machine

    I wouldn't want to be
    Living in a world of ecstasy with you

    Taken' away your companies
    Takin' away your societies and go.
    Get me off this backwards ride,
    Takin' away your fictitious books of fact.
    Yeah, do mum-ba-si-be-ah Writer/s: JENN WERTZ, JIM DISPIRITO, JIM DONOVAN, JOHN BUYNAK, LIZ BERLIN, MICHAEL GLABICKI, PATRICK NORMAN
