"You Can't Get Shot in the Back if You Don't Run"

Mutes they like to protestto

disagree between the lines

where the mass majority hide
And on the news it’s like Mardi Grase

very night with their shirts off

to shine your ears and eyes
In a restaurant boothI

cut my toothon

pictures of our sable justice

given the facts

who can relax

so easy on death?
Love ain’t something I remember

trust ain’t something I afford no one

lately I remember to forget

can’t get shot in the back if you don’t run

can’t get shot in the back if you don’t run
My fate it lies with someone

each stranger I’m a part of

and them of I
Across continents and oceans

transplanted the Great Divide

even though the Rockies they ain’t moved none
In an airport lounge

I try and drown

the pictures of our sable justice

given the facts

who can relax

so easy on death?
Love ain’t something I remember

trust ain’t something I afford no one

lately I remember to forget

can’t get shot in the back if you don’t run
Lyrics and Music by Matthew Good

Family is complicated, Love is complicated, Work is complicated, and there must be a way to make it all easier. Drugs help.
