lyrics

and now we're living in a world where if u go for a swim
you could be taken in by the cops
and every gun store in this country's running out of bullets coz' we are living in a constant state of fear
and I don't want to be another statistic on the five o'clock news
so I'm leaving and I'm sorry and I'll be back in June and maybe we can make some music like we used to do.

way back when
things were good
and I was broke
but we made it work

and now we're living in a world where if u go for a swim
you could be taken in by the cops and every gun store in this country's running out of bullets coz' we are living in a constant state of fear
and I don't want to be another statistic on the five o'clock news
so I'm leaving and I'm sorry and I'll be back in June and maybe we can make some music like we used to do.

way back when
things were good
