This world is not for me

They teach you to lie
And they teach you to kill
They say save a life
And nobody will

They burn all the beauty
And dance in the flames
Then hold out a torch
And call you by name

They call you by your name

This world is not for me

They call you a brother
And hold out a hand
Put a hole in your back
And fill it with sand

From the rich to the lazy
From the cold to the tall
They search for an answer
And won’t hear the call

They won’t hear the call

This world is not for me

They show you an answer
They give you a sign
You check all your fingers
And count out to nine

This world can not hold me
Like a cat in a sack
I know the way forward
I’m not looking back

I’m not looking back
