21st Century Social Suicide Blues (I’m Not Here)

Call in the undertaker
I believe this life is flowing away from me
Send out the invitations
The last goodbye is there for all to see

Tell 'em all is well, but in a while
I'll be gone without a trace

Someone better tell the blood hounds
They're barking up the wrong tree once again
There's nothing in here worth saving
I cracked the code but lost my edge years ago

But please don't follow me, I'm just as lost as anyone else
Feel free to join the herd as
I get miles away, miles away from here

I no longer fit these systems no more, no more
I can't be part of any sideshow
I can't follow these prescriptions no more, no more
You won't look for me, but if you will
I'm way down, miles away from here

This is your captain speaking
We have ground control's permission to leave the wreck
Keep it decent and make a nice clean exit
Just leave me where I am, hope you enjoyed the flight

Please count me out
But just for the record: I was never even in

Go tell the nurse and doctor
I think I still can pull the plug by myself
Send in the twilight singers
It's time to close the curtains and dim the lights

No we're far from okay, we're still wasted
But it's time I rest my case
You can all be by yourselves again as
I get miles away, miles away from here

I no longer fit these systems no more, no more
I can't be part of any sideshow
I can't follow these prescriptions no more, no more
You won't look for me, but if you will
I'm way down, miles away from here
