No One Gets Away - Down By Law

Wake up to the darkness of another day

You’re determined: today you’ll get away

But all too soon you find that your day is set

And you haven’t figured how to get out yet

All the images are so confusing

The thoughts in your head are so bruising

Coffee table world is so alluring

All the lines you drew once are blurring

You once were the rebel — so full of hate

Now it seems the suit doesn’t fit so great

View yourself a bit uneasily

This wasn’t how it was going to be

You know that rationales are far too easy

But you’ve got to pay the rent and stay warm

Ideals battle with reality

You view the world as you know it to be

You built a foundation — but it’s hard to stay

Truth be told — no one gets away

You say of course things change — well I know things change

But that doesn’t make it easier to piss it all away
