paradise\r\nI woke and rolled over and told my girl we're leaving\r\nIt's time to sacrifice a lot\r\nCause you ain't happy with your job\r\nAnd round here it's like nothin' seems appealing\r\nSo let me know you feel the same\r\nThrow your life into a case and walk the path from Victoria this evening\r\nAnd then embark upon a path of rediscovery\r\nSearching for the fruits from the lost garden of Eden\r\nI'm wondering if I runaway and came back another day,\r\nThen would the young men who roll with metal put the guns away\r\nAnd would the devil have took charge or would the slum be safe\r\nI pray the latter's right for everybody's mumsy's sake.\r\nAnd if I dissappear for years and reappear\r\nWould my natural intuition still be crystal clear?\r\nOr would I have lost clarity?\r\nIn this trivial pursuit we're walking through so casually\r\n\r\n[Chorus: Yasmin]\r\nI gotta leave, I gotta go,\r\nThere's nothing here for me no more\r\nI gotta be free, I gotta be\r\nSomewhere that I can just be me.\r\nAnd I run run runaway, run run runaway,\r\nRun run runaway, I runaway.\r\n\r\n[Verse 2: Devlin]\r\nWe share a last cigerette, then walk into the station\r\nPurchase two tickets to an alien destination\r\nBoard the train and witness pain on all the faces of multi-cultural races\r\nBut not me and my girl we're breaking free\r\nLike an escapist, cause we need to escape this\r\nAnd I for one have got my mind made up,\r\nEven if where we stay is make-shift\r\nI can't remain in this domain of semi ape shit, because all I see is hatred\r\nI wonder if I dissappeared how many men would miss me\r\nOr would they all forget like I erased my name from history?\r\nI'm still trying yet to make a break within the chain of pain and misery\r\nAnd vanish off the planet like a mystery.\r\nAnd if I did return would things be the same or worse?\r\nYou see the gear stick shift and then the whip reverse and I'd be straight back on my travels\r\nBurning rubber over gravel 'til we see the English Channel\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n\r\n[Verse 3: Devlin]\r\nAs the carriage pulls away, I pull my lady closer and I tell her she's okay\r\n'Cause if we never broke the barricades today we'd always be afraid\r\nAnd left to feel threatened in this dark and deadly maze\r\nBut now I've come of age, and as the train starts enterin' suburbia a smile comes across \r\nmy face\r\nThe unwinding of eternal rage, that was locked up inside just like my mates behind \r\nprison gates\r\nIf I could runaway and come back another day,\r\nI'd let the song play, on the summer's longest day.\r\nKick back and just enjoy the raves, with a lager and a spliff to blaze.\r\nIf I ever contemplate returning to this crazy place\r\nI'd leave it long enough so they don't recognise my face\r\nI'd let the song play, on the summer's longest day\r\nWhile I roll upon the roads along the motorway\r\n\r\n[Chorus]","plain_text":"Real easy song to play, 4 chords repeated throughout the whole song.\nC, G, Am, F (in that
