[Verse 1]
Lay your arms down now
We'll find no rest in Sri Lanka
Own your mistakes now
We'll break the rules if we want to
[Pre-Chorus]
I should've listened when you said
How the competition would control us
After all the passing years
And false promises you can't console us
But we're still holding on and on
When you say...
[Chorus]
This place is getting old
So I leave it behind
(To get the hell out of dodge)
Do what you are told
(And find a spread that I like)
Cause I know that this can't be right
[Verse 2]
Write all your thoughts down
You'll never outrun what haunts ya
Trade all your faults out
This bleeding heart doesn't want'cha
[Pre-Chorus]
I never listened when you said
How the repetition would reward us
After all the passing years
And faded images, you can't distort us
But we're still holding on and on
When you say...
[Chorus]
This place is getting old
So I leave it behind
(To get the hell out of dodge)
Do what you are told
(And find a spread that I like)
Cause I know that this can't be right
