Backing Out Songtext

Backing OutBeen 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 complainEnough's too much and now I'm gonnaStop the madness soon before it drives me insaneSo, take me where the sun won't shine on meTake me where my conscience won't goTake me where the sun won't shine on meDon't tell me I'm backing out cos I don't wanna knowEveryone around this town is so angryBlaring horns, swearing, shaking fistsIf everybody in the world was a hit manWe'd wipe each other off each other's hit listsWho wants to stand and be countedAll anger ever amounted to was lines on your faceI don't want to be the one to start the shoutingI'm part of this society and I know my place(Chorus)Everything around this town is so boringNothing changes, nothing doesn't stay the sameTen years ago when we had high idealse couldn't wait to play the protest gameBut now we have our thing togetherBrand new leather, three bank accountsWho cares about the starving millionsWe're just happy that our cheques don't bounce(Chorus)
