Studio Cast of Maggie - Walk Away

Walk away, son, walk away
How many times does it have to be said
It's the same thing every day
When is it gonna get into your head
This road leads you nowhere except for astray
Walk away, son, walk away

Look around, mum, look around
Tell me that you do not see the demise
While you sleep, safe and sound
Yer country is dyin' in front of yer eyes
How can you stand and watch it burn to the ground
Look around, mum, look around

Don't be the man they expect you to be
You need to listen, listen to me
It is not worth it, so lay down your arms
It is my job to keep you safe from harm

Walk away son, walk away
(I'm down in that darkness)
Nothin' gets better when driven by hate
(I'm down in that darkness)
My God, son, how I pray
(Day in and day out)
You come to yer senses before it's too late
(You haven't a clue what you're talkin' about)
Resist the anger, keep it at bay
(Your rose colored glasses are maskin' the grey)
Walk away, walk away, walk away
(Walk away? Walk away? Walk away?)

If your da were still livin'
What would he say?
