Lyrics
I'M OPTING OUT OF THE FIRING LINE
IF THAT'S O.K.......IF I MAY
OTHERS HAVE ALREADY FLED
AND PRETTY SOON I WOULD BE DEAD
WON'T TAKE THE FLAK
FOR THE WHOLE PACK
HEADS IN SAND
TAILS BETWEEN LEGS
CHOICES ARE HARD TO SEE
THEY STARE YOU RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES,
BUT PEOPLE LOOK OVER THEIR OWN SHOULDERS
AND PRETEND TO TAKE A RAIN-CHECK
AND WE ALL PLAY ALONG.
IT'S SAD, IT'S EMPTY
IT'S ALMOST A CRIME
I'M OPTING OUT OF THE FIRING LINE,
ALL THE SAME.
UNTIL IT ALL CHANGES SHAPE
FOREVER AND A DAY.....
IT THAT'S O.K..........IF I MAY.
