Copychange of Bright Eyes’ I Must Belong Somewhere
Leave the cold hard look on your teachers face
Leave the work papers locked in your brown briefcase
Let the fugitive go and leave no trace today
Leave the president on his liar’s throne
Leave the leathernecks far away from home
Let the foreigners grow their own backbones today
Leave the Mexicans in their crowded cars
Leave the businessmen in their fancy bars
Let the diplomats who come here from afar remain
Leave your lover’s face in your lock-heart chain
Leave your soccer moms cheering at the game
Leave your ego bundled up in your name today
Everything it must belong somewhere
The waves smacking the shore, the bow tied up in her hair
Yeah everything it must belong somewhere
I see that and I know I can’t stay here
Leave the dinner plate on the TV tray
Leave the softball glove in and don’t go play
Leave the family time in the olden days today
Leave the sticky gum stuck to your right shoe’s soul
Leave the dead people in their six-foot hole
Let the fat kids sitting at their game controls remain
Everything it must belong somewhere,
The old ruins out in Egypt, and the new ones over here
Everything it must belong somewhere
I see that and I know I can’t stay here
Leave the oceans roar in your condo towns
Leave the constable to make his rounds
Leave the men in black on the Whitehouse grounds today
Leave your hopes and dreams in your pay load
Leave your wasteful trash out by the road
Let your daughters in their shopping mode remain
Everything it must belong somewhere
They kept the woman in the kitchen, Threw the man out to make his share
Yeah everything it must belong somewhere
I see that and I know a can’t stay here
Yeah, I see that and I know I can’t stay here
