Anywhere but Here
guitar chords lyrics
I can't honestly say I'm making it tonight,
but I'll give you all that I got, I'll give you everything despite.
Cos' I'm not the one who's pleading for my boy to come to life,
reality has taken me on this October night.
Cos' there's a man on the side of the road a sobbing shadow with a hunch,
the people gather round' him for a photo-op.
They pulled the curtain back and then a road to ruin settled in
those eyes, in those eyes.
He said let's lets all stand and pray and play follow the fucking leader and escape,
this grim reality see.
Just follow what I'm teaching and you'll see that true salvation
lies today, in a blood streak, in a blood streak on the street.
[Pre-Chorus:]
Well who knows what the kid could have been we're paying you so get up there and play.
To all the kids deceived, guess there aint' no grieving needed.
[Pre-Chorus:]
Well who knows what the kid could have been we're paying you so get up there and play.
To all the kids deceived, guess there aint' no grieving needed.
On this Halloween, anywhere but here I'd rather be.
[Chorus:]
You've been so welcoming to me,
but I don't agree, with anything I see,
cos' the fathers falling to his knees as you rejoice in harmony,
man anywhere but here I'd rather be.
The jackals were all there in the warm October air before
they put the chalk line down on the cement.
When the church bells started tolling they said keep those cameras rolling,
we'll be sure to get this on the news at ten.
Crowd that gathered seemed undaunted, said it must be what god wanted,
but that kid was eight years old and now he's gone,
and if you truly believe that it was his time to leave
I guess I'll be the one to tell you that you're wrong.
