The Great Escape

Bad day, looking for a way,

home, looking for the great escape.

Gets in his car and drives away,

far from all the things that we are.

Puts on a smile and breathes it in

and breathes it out, he says,

bye bye bye to all of the noise.

Oh, he says, bye bye bye to all of the noise.

Hey child, things are looking down.

That’s okay, you don’t need to win anyways.

Don’t be afraid, just eat up all the gray

and it will fade all away.

Don’t let yourself fall down.

Bad day, looking for the great escape.

He says, bad day, looking for the great escape.

On a bad day, looking for the great escape,

the great escape.
