From the recording Vault 21
"Your Runaway" is a song about recognizing and getting away from a bad situation. I and others
have experienced being slaves in the Corporate America machine. I had realized the scam they
were selling, "You should feel lucky to have a job", "We're working on something really cool,
You should want to work on this all the time you can!" This was a song where I knew I needed
to leave a job and I was showing my girlfriend at the time that there really are better prospects
elsewhere, so let's get out of dodge together!
Lyrics
Feel the wind, see the signs
Its finally going down, yeah its going down
I'm turning rare, I left my chair
I could be anywhere, But not this town
I don't care what they say
I don't care what they think
Well I've got nothing to prove
And their warnings stink
Society doesn't want us
They want to silence our fuss
Can't blindly follow their ways
Now its time to escape
Cause I'm Your Runaway
Send a message, make a call
That you're leaving town, yeah leaving town
Heading where? Going there
Seeking thinner air, up not down
You don't care what they say
You don't care what they think
You've got nothing to lose
If you stay, you'll sink
Society doesn't want us
They want to silence our fuss
Can't blindly follow their ways
Now its time to escape
Cause I'm Your Runaway
Listen here baby
Stop acting so crazy
Come along with me
A better place you'll be
Spread the news, tell the press
Bout what we've found, what we have found
Cleaner skies, better buys
And no ties, greener grass abound
They don't believe what we say
They don't care what we preach
They're just stuck in their ways
Old dogs you can't teach
Society doesn't want us
They want to silence our fuss
Can't blindly follow their ways
Now its time to escape
Cause I'm Your Runaway
Society doesn't want us
They want to silence our fuss
Can't blindly follow their ways
Now its time to escape
Cause I'm Your Runaway
