I had a good idea
I let it get away
Maybe I'll remember it
Some other day

If I take what I give
I should get what I want
Show me up, how to live
And I won't affront
My bitter temperament
You wonder where it went
The complications, overdone
Prevarications, overcome

You take away, what you put in
Don't fall away, and don't give in

Turn Away
(It's time to turn away, from what we have become)
Return
(You know we must return, to where it is we're from)

I had a bad idea

I had a bad idea
But I forgot it's name
It rhymes with -alism
The politics of change
Just making contact
Don't be immature
A social contract
Let me get your signature
Prevarications overcome
The complications overdone
To break a nation, kill the son

Turn Away
(It's time to turn away, from what we have become)
Return
(You know we must return, to where it is we're from)
