Lyrics

People are troubled by civil disobedience. As soon as you talk about committing civil disobedience they get a little upset. But that's exactly the purpose of civil disobedience. To upset people.

I'm on a road
On a plane
On a satellite lost in space
I know this ends
I got hope
I got faith
Tell me help is on the way
I know this ends
Everything ends

If I send out an S.O.S.
Oh, will you be there?
Are you my friend?
Or am I defenseless?

I'm on the ropes
In the cage
In the desert on a horse with no name
I hope this ends
I've been robbed
I've been framed
I know I got debts to pay
I hope this ends
Everything ends

Take my hand off the trigger
Put my heart on my chest
Take my hand off the trigger
Get me out of this mess
