I gotta get my kin away from here
Situation's gone past all my worst fears
Authorities have flipped, the work's all gone
Gotta get my kin away
Better get our stuff together no delay
Nothing for us to return to back home anyway
Seems the whole damn country's gone down the chute
Better get our stuff together
Something on the horizon looking real
Soon hanging our hats on some new deal
Seems the whole damn country's gone down the chute
Better get our stuff together
Feverishly forging out the plan
Construction of a better land
I gotta get my kin away from here
Situation's gone past all my worst fears
Tired folk holding out tired hands
I gotta get my kin away
I gotta get my kin away
I gotta get my kin away from here
