The Great Escape Songtext

von Art Brut

Listen up
Turn your head
Do not close your eyes instead
It's all in our hands
Don't let them take control again

The walls are closing in
While we sleep with eyes open
This nightmare never ends
Unless we got to

Get away (get away)
Complete the great escape
Now what do you say?
I say
Get away
When you can't stand it after all (after all)

Complete the great escape
Now what do you say?
I say
Get away
When you can't stand it after all (after all)

What are you waiting for?
We got to get away

We are getting to an end
On a sinking ship with fragile freight
Just a fatal accident
Put the blame on the government

The bombs are waiting to
Get launched and devastate all

Innocent who are just like
You and me

Get away (get away)
Complete the great escape
Now what do you say?
I say
Get away
When you can't stand it after all (after all)

Complete the great escape
Now what do you say?
I say
Get away
When you can't stand it after all (after all)

Amid a thousand nations
A political escape
That would never find salvation
On its way to demonstrate the global discontentment
Easy to anticipate
World war?!
What for?
What are you waiting for
Get away

Get away (get away)
Complete the great escape
Now what do you say?
I say
Get away
When you can't stand it after all (after all)

Complete the great escape
Now what do you say?
I say
Get away
When you can't stand it after all (after all)
