Brendan O'Brien - Turn Your Back lyrics

And when the clock strikes 12, tell me where you gonna be? Cleaning up the mess we've made or watching your TV? And if you have to ask, then you don't have a clue There's snow in Arizona while they're bombing in Beirut! [Pre-Chorus] I hope some day… when I'm dead and gone We learn to right… everything that's wrong With loving hands… turn sick to strong Our time will tell… if life goes on, on, on, on, on [Chorus] When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can't ignore You run, run away! But there's no place to hide, mate! When the days turn into night, you don't got no chance to fight ‘Cause you're too late! So kiss your a** goodbye, mate! It just don't make no sense, there's a million mouths to feed We got military action over monetary need And you can turn your back, or you can plant the seed You can choose compa**ion over universal greed [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] x2 And you can turn your back but it won't go away And you don't look scared but you should be afraid You can shut your mouth but you still have a say But you just don't care for tomorrow today Well, you can turn your back but it won't go away And you don't look scared but you should be afraid You can shut your mouth but you still have a say But you just don't care for tomorrow today Well, no way! Way! No way, no way, no way, no way! [Chorus] x2
