High Frequency - Anywhere But Here

It's always on our TV screens
And clogging up our Twitter feeds
Murder, war and politics
It makes me fucking sick
You'd have thought a global virus
Might have brought us all together
But people will be people
And act like class-A dicks
Presidents inciting violence
Politicians having parties
Neighbours killing neighbours
And actors up on trial
I feel I'm going crazy
Watching everyone go crazy
No one seems to know just how
To fill this hole we're in
There's nowhere else to go
To escape this endless mess
So I scream as loud as I can
I'd really rather be
Anywhere but here, whoa
Anywhere but here, whoa
Anywhere but here, whoa
I'd really rather be
Anywhere but here
You're claiming to be pro-life
But you want to keep you rifles
You end up teaching your children
To hide, don't try to run.
It's always someone else's fault
And not the way you've raised them
It could never be your pride and joy
They'd never hurt a fly
There's nowhere else to go
To escape this endless mess
So I scream as loud as I can
I'd really rather be
Anywhere but here, whoa
Anywhere but here, whoa
Anywhere but here, whoa
I'd really rather be
Anywhere but here
The government has lost control
They always need a scapegoat
It's me or you or someone else
They never take the blame
It's time to leave this wretched place
To a land of beer and sea and sun
I'm sure there must be a better way
To live out the rest of my days
There's nowhere else to go
To escape this endless mess
So I scream as loud as I can
I'd really rather be
Anywhere but here, whoa
Anywhere but here, whoa
Anywhere but here, whoa
I'd really rather be
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
