Been living in the city too long now Even my lungs have started to groan Everybody is singing their own song Sometimes I want to sing alone Never been a prima donna I never seem to want to be the one to complain Enough's too much and now I'm a goner Stop the madness scene before it drives me insane Take me where the sun won't shine on me Take me where my conscience won't go now Take me where the sun won't shine - on me Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know Everyone around this town is so angry now Blaring horns and swearing; shaking fists If everybody in the world was a hit man We'd wipe each other off each other's hit lists Who wants to stand and be counted Or anger every man until there's lines on your face, now I don't want to be the one to start the shouting I'm part of this society and I know my place Take me where the sun won't shine on me Take me where my conscience won't go now Take me where the sun won't shine - on me Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know Everything around this town is so boring Well nothing changes; Nothing doesn't stay the same Ten years when we had high ideals We couldn't wait to play the protest game But now we have our thing together Our brand new leathers, three bank accounts Who cares about the starving millions We're just happy that our cheques don't bounce Take me where the sun won't shine on me Take me where my conscience won't go now Take me where the sun won't shine - on me Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to ... No, Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know
