Anywhere But Here Lyrics

It's always on our TV screens

And clogging up our Twitter feeds

Murder, war and politics

It makes me fucking sick

You'd have thought a global virus

Might have brought us all together

But people will be people

And act like class-A dicks

Presidents inciting violence

Politicians having parties

Neighbours killing neighbours

And actors up on trial

I feel I'm going crazy

Watching everyone go crazy

No one seems to know just how

To fill this hole we're in

There's nowhere else to go

To escape this endless mess

So I scream as loud as I can

I'd really rather be

Anywhere but here, whoa

Anywhere but here, whoa

Anywhere but here, whoa

I'd really rather be

Anywhere but here

You're claiming to be pro-life

But you want to keep you rifles

You end up teaching your children

To hide, don't try to run.

It's always someone else's fault

And not the way you've raised them

It could never be your pride and joy

They'd never hurt a fly

There's nowhere else to go

To escape this endless mess

So I scream as loud as I can

I'd really rather be

Anywhere but here, whoa

Anywhere but here, whoa

Anywhere but here, whoa

I'd really rather be

Anywhere but here

The government has lost control

They always need a scapegoat

It's me or you or someone else

They never take the blame

It's time to leave this wretched place

To a land of beer and sea and sun

I'm sure there must be a better way

To live out the rest of my days

There's nowhere else to go

To escape this endless mess

So I scream as loud as I can

I'd really rather be

Anywhere but here, whoa

Anywhere but here, whoa

Anywhere but here, whoa

I'd really rather be

Anywhere but here

Anywhere but here
