about

Should you stay and fight to make things better, or make a run for it if you get the chance?
- a song for the overworked and burnt out, written from the mindset of feeling emboldened by having a partner by your side.
In solidarity, Trickster Figures

lyrics

I'm about to break
I've been working this over and over
Don't know how far I can take this
But if I'm gonna get away
All I need's a getaway driver
I've been anxious all the time
I've been staying up all night
I've been working 9 to 9
I could be your get away driver
I hear it 'til my ears ring
Meet your productivity
Live to consume something
Darling we could leave right now
I could be your get away driver
You could be my getaway
Or should we stay and change
where we are?
Damn I found you just in time
I can feel my hopes rise
Just get in the car and drive
Cause I can see a better way
and I can feel it calling me over
Off the grid, off the land, Tokyo, Coppenhagen
Make it with our own hands, Lima, Busan, Buenes Aires
You could be my get away driver
You could be my get away
Can we afford to choose to stay and change
change things where we are?
I think it's gone too far
I've been waiting so long
I've gone along to get along
I can't hold it in no more
Gonna fight with all I've got
Gonna fight with all I've got
I could be your get away driver
I see it in your broken eyes
Are we free enough to decide
Should we quit or unionize
You feel like you don't have a choice in all of this
(you could be my get away)
and it breaks your heart
But you could stay and change
change things
where we are
Stay the same, breaks your heart
or Make waves, get torn apart
Either way
I come undone
I could use a break from looking for my break
Sick of taking what I'm given
Gonna take what I should make
They're selling us a dream that's fake
Do you wanna get away
Don't leave me by myself this time
When I put it on the line
I can see it in my mind
Wanna see it in my life
Will you stand by my side
Together will we show our strength
Or is it time to get away
Should we stay and change
change things
where we are?
We can stay and change
change things
where we are
I'm about to break
I've been working this over and over
Have a choice it's time to make it
Cause if I wanna get away
All I need's a getaway driver
