NOTHING IS SAFE (new lyric)



I’ve been watching you
You heard some old codger say
"Play it safe and later you’ll be grateful."
So, here’s your talkin’ to:
If your last meal was today
Would you go half-starved and leave a plateful?

So if you’re hungry
You better dig right in
Feelin’ punchy?
Then take it on the chin

Nothing is safe
Nothing alive is safe
You better get it in your head
Nothing is safe
Nothing alive is safe
Coz safe, my friend,
Is just another word for dead

My big job interview
It was all 401K
Sick leave, holidays
And health insurance
The future was secure
Till I fell right through my chair
Down the stairs
And landed on the cactus plants

When stargazin’
Gaze with all your might
Stars a-blazin’
Could burn out tonight

(Repeat Chorus)

George and Lois Lane
Had a brand new baby girl
And suddenly the world
Was much too risky
Child-proofed everything
Covered everything with nerf
When she grew up
She was nearly sixty

When she was dyin’
Angels took her home
Took her flyin’
Through a combat zone

(Repeat Chorus)

Shake your head at me
Till you give your neck a cramp
The night is dark and damp
And I’m out in it
There may be enemies
May be thieves or even worse
Take my life and purse
But curse the limits

Look around you
You’re in prison, friend
What surrounds you
Only locks you in

(Repeat Chorus)
