Driven Out - The Fixx

Driven out by thieves,

I watch them pillage the planet

fuelled by a fattening greed,

trees fall to the hatchet

chopping against the grain,

our spirits in a vacuum

sadly ignore the pain,

the end arrives, we all lose

I hope it comes around

Driven out

holding out

day by day survival

Castaways have silent lives

with the strength to rival you

Driving in my car

I used to be able to walk this far

now I turn on the light.

I used to be able to sleep at night

I’m cooking with microwaves

to warm up food not seen the soil

plugged into my TV

used to the lies they’re telling me I hope it comes around

driven out…

Hoping that we find,

more to life than meets the eye

can we escape the grind,

build a life that’s more worthwhile

be rid of this empty p ride,

full of selfishness inside

bathe in a turning tide,

until then we all hide

I hope it comes around

driven out
