I know I've got to get out
Gotta run away
Can't afford the maintenance, baby
Things have got to change
Things have got to change
Things have got to change
Pointless conversation
Changing nothing
Just wasting time

How did I get here?
When do I get to go?
Who gave you the notion
You could assume the things I know
The things I know?
Oh yeah, there's some things I know
Pointless conversation
Changing nothing
Just wasting time
High stress situations, baby
Never been a friend of mine

Truth comes in silence
Everybody knows
From blistered self-confidence
Only prejudice grows
Only prejudice grows
Watch how it grows
Pointless conversation
Changing nothing
Just wasting time

I know I've got to get out
Gotta run away
Can't afford the maintenance, baby
Things have got to change
Things have got to change
Things have got to change
Pointless conversation
Changing nothing
Just wasting time
Home on the highway, baby
This is goodbye's smile
