Get Away
King's X · Ogre Tones [2005]
Why are your people so fucking mean?
Hey God, that kid was locked up for 3 years
Why do the innocent suffer?
Where do you go to get away?
Hey God, they say you're perfect and in control
And I am falling apart
Hey God, the god of so many names
But who can I blame?
What the hell are you thinking?
Where do you go to get away?
We're standing here counting our fears
Abraham
Live in a desert there's nothing there
Abraham
Where do you go to get away
Get Away
