about

With weeks and weeks of constantly refreshing news pages and reading story after terrible story I think this song was bound to happen. I'm glad I wrote it as really wanted to let some of my anger loose. I have been primarily listening to Placebo, Pixies and Queens Of The Stone Age as a driver for this track.

I really wanted to call this track Get Back but felt to intimidated to have the same song name as the Beatles. Also I think too much Parks and Recs has rubbed off because I believe one of the lyrics is because it rhymes with one of the characters in it.

Own Swan Song -> Ron Swanson ;)

lyrics

Get back to where you came from
with a smile on your face, sitting by the front door
Get back to where you came from
where the money flows and economies soar
Get back to where you came from
because you are not well
Get back
because you are not welcome

DO YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS YOU HAVEN'T DONE?
DO YOU THINK YOU'LL BE THE HERO IN YOUR OWN SWAN SONG?
DO YOU THINK THAT IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT A HOUSE AIN'T A HOME
IF IT'S JUST A HOLE

Get back to where you came from
stop pushing up the daisies on your neighbours lawn
Get back to where you came from
stop watering the plants with cluster bombs
Get back to where you came from
you can fake a celebration if you want on your way out
JUST GET OUT!

I can't believe what you do
over and over and over again

DO YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS YOU HAVEN'T DONE?
DO YOU THINK YOU'LL BE THE HERO IN YOUR OWN SWAN SONG?
DO YOU THINK THAT IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT A HOUSE AIN'T A HOME
IF IT'S JUST A HOLE

Get back to where you came from
where there is a smile still waiting by the front door
Get back to where you came from
where the money flows just like before
Get back
